Texts not getting through...

I can send texts to everybody but one person.

Any reason why this would happen and how to fix it?

i've had that. people would send me texts and i could read and reply as you would expect to. but there was this girl that everytime she text me and i went to reply, it would always say "Sending Failed" or similar (depending on the make & model of phone), even if i removed the +44 and put an 0 in it's place, it would still say that every time. so i would have to go into the write message option (again depending on the phone) and write a reply, then select her number as the person to send to and then it would send. it always confused me as to why with every phone i had when i used to text her (i text her now and she dont reply and shes never on msn either), they would always do the same thing. never happened with anyone else in my phone book

There is an option on some phones to "send reply via same message centre" that should be off. If it's on, it means you try and send a reply to someone via their mobile network, for example, you're on O2, they're on Orange, they send a text, your reply tries to go back through Orange, because you're actually on O2, it doesn't work.

If you send the text normally, it goes though your provider.

That could be your problem.

if you're talking about my problem and that girl's phone number... it's ok now, i deleted her number cuz i think she lost her phone or broke it and i have no other way to get in touch with her anymore. plus i've moved on in life and have other girls to talk to now

Orange will probably blame Vodafone and vice versa... give it a whirl by all means, see what you get out of it

I never used to be able to reply directly to texts from my friend on o2. This was for nearly a whole year and I changed my network provider during this time too. I had to compose a reply from scratch.

Hmm...

WordLife · 12-12-2005, 13:03

but what i dont get was everyone else i knew on O2 i could reply to in the normal way, just not that 1 person...

(other networks were fine with me replying to texts too)

sean-rfc · 12-12-2005, 13:09

Try deleting the number form the phone book and adding it back into the phone book, might work!

Goodl Luck

That'd be the reply via same centre option being turned on at your friends end most likely.
