Not receiving/sending texts from/to one number

[Anonymous]

Texts suddenly stopped getting received from only one number on my iPhone. All other numbers are recieving my texts and I am getting all of there texts apart from a couple. What can I do to solve this?

Out of curiosity, is the other person also using an iPhone?

Or out of couriosity has the person recently switched from an iPhone to another phone?

Thats where I was heading

Sounds like a potential iMessage issue. I have seen cases where the other person has changed phones but their old iPhone (some instances it doesnt even have a sim in it anymore) still receives texts.

Try disabling iMessage and texting the person.

I read about this the other day thats why I was asking!

There is an Apple site where you can remove your number that was associated with iMessage so that txts start working properly.

My girlfriend had issues when she first moved to her S3 but it eventually fixed itself after a good few weeks. Its just a pity that Apple dont readily tell you that you need to do this!

Your friend needs to go to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do , log in with her Apple ID, click on "Edit Products" and click on the "x" to the right of the iPhone. Click "Unregister" and now txts should work properly.
