Hello once more, Sieghard, and list,
Ok, I don't understand what in the world could be going wrong, with texting my friend. He did tell me he can text others, and receive texts. So this is crazy! I tried using an app to text him, but he didn't receive that text either. I figure that even though the app has it's own number, it still is linked to mine. But of course, I could be wrong there. His number is not blocked. I've checked more than once. I even blocked the contact then unblocked it, and tried to text him again. Even though, I knew that wouldn't really work. He has an Android phone, but I don't know what kind. six months ago, we could text just fine. But we haven't tried to text again until last night. That's a long story! His number hasn't changed either, and neither has mine. The SMS feature is on. So I don't know what else to try, or to do. I'm rather frustrated! Can anyone help? Does anyone have anymore ideas?
