Question:
My iPhone 5 won't let me text certain people?
2012-12-22 14:30:37 UTC
Alright, so on thursday night all of a sudden my text message wouldn't go through to this certain person. I tried resending it, and each time it would show the text message bar (right under the contact's name) saying "sending..." but once the sending progress bar reaches roughly 3/4th's finished, it'll just stop and the text message will put up an exclamation point (meaning that the message was not sent). I looked into it, and at first thought she blocked me, despite her saying she can't text me either. I assumed she'd blocked me and just left it at that and continued on. When I was texting another contact, the same things happened. I asked her and she too said that it wouldn't let her text me back. While researching this problem, I found out that maybe the IOS 6 software update that came out a few days ago was causing this problem as others have been experiencing it as well. Currently, it won't let me text those two people, but every one else works fine. I have resorted to Facebook messaging them, but I'd prefer texting since it's faster! Any advice or information is welcome. Thanks!

PS: I already edited their contact information, putting a "1" in front of the area code for long distance and that did not work.

You could go for either of them both are exceptional set of OS if you're an android fan that you can go for samsung and Apple if you happen to love ios in line with me You should get iPhone 5 considering the fact that it has cool elements and a better digital camera( as a minimum i am a photographer) You get excellent music in iPhone 5 with optimization of apps and as well as there will likely be ios7 relaeasing in a number of days that allows you to be the fine OS ever according to apple you probably have a funds crisis just go for Samsung since it's more cost effective than iPhone but points like hd screen and gorilla tft 3 is to be had in iPhone 5 Hope this helps you somewhat together with your challenge :D
