Re: unable to send text messages to several contacts

2019-11-28 Thread Donna
Hi,

Confirm that SMS messaging is on, by going to settings & swiping down to 
messages. If your brother has been able to send messages to the people he is 
now having trouble sending messages to...Have him open the messages app, find 
the conversation thread for his friend, check to see within the thread, if 
either your brother or his friend used an email or another phone number 
associated with either contact. If either has used an associated contact email 
or phone number, have your brother to just to delete those messages or delete 
the entire conversation thread. I suggest the above, because I was able to send 
my partner, who has a Samsung phone messages. My partner was using his iPad one 
day & sent me several links, sent using his icloud email, which is associated 
with his contact info in my phone. After receiving the links, I was unable to 
send my partner any more messages.  After deleting the email used within the 
conversation thread, I’m now able to send my partner text messages. The same 
thing recently happened with a friend, who has a Samsung phone & he called from 
his work number, which is associated with his contact info. Both numbers were 
in the same message thread. Apparently, Apple doesn’t support multiple contact 
means within a single text message conversation thread.

RE: unable to send text messages to several contacts

2019-11-28 Thread sherrywells1157
Hello Lynda,

This seems to be a common problem when sending to an Android phone.  Try one of 
the following:
1)  If using Siri to send texts, send a message & get the undelivered response. 
 The message is now in your message app.  Leave it there & send the message 
again.  I have always had the message send once there is a message in my 
messages app.
2) Go to the regular message app & send it from there.  This seems to work more 
consistently than Siri.

Some people have had no luck with either of these solutions.  Hope your luck is 
better.

Subject: unable to send text messages to several contacts

happy Thanksgiving everyone.

My brother is having problems with his iPhone six. He has the current operating 
system. He has a friend that he can call on the phone but he cannot text. We 
deleted the contact re-entered it and it still will not work. I believe the 
person is using an android phone. I am totally at a loss. Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Lynda
