How do I text to a 5 digit number?

I'm so annoyed right now. I need to text to 5 digit number to register a product. It's not a phone number.

But iOS keeps adding this stupid dash after the 2nd digit so then it fails to send. I want to send to 71403 instead of 71-403

I can't believe how hard it is to do this simple thing.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12.1

Can't Send Text Messages On My IPad This is my first text message. I am trying to send one, but the phone number is in red. I even tried to send one to me, but my number is still in red. I can't find where the address book is on my device to add numbers, though my name is in my address book. Can anyone tell me how to set this thing up? I tried all support directions, but no go. Thanks for your help! Gregg

SMS 5 digit number Is there a way to use the 5 digit so it won’t add punctuation. The call won’t go through with the hyphen.

Mobile number not being recognised Basically, I have started a new contract and had a temporary number for a day but since then my old number has been carried over. However, my number has been removed from being able to use it for iMessage and only the temporary number is showing? Hope someone can advise me in what to do. My phone number is still the correct number but when it comes to texting it is not. My number isn’t even an option on the send and receive within the settings.
