Hey guys, so for some reason I'm not long able to send texts to one of my friends. The message acts like it was sent but they don't receive any. They can however see pictures I've sent and I can receive any texts that they send. This just recently started happening (yesterday morning) so I don't know what's causing it. It's weird because they can send/receive texts from other people and I can send/receive texts from other people as well. Doesn't make much sense! We have both turned off/on our phones and my friend has even reset theirs (it's not an iPhone however). Should I restore mine too or does it seem like some other problem? Thanks for any help!

Can you please tell, what carrier are you on, which generation of iPhone, what firmware it is on? The more informations, the better we can help.

And welcome to the site. :)

Sorry! It's an iPhone 4, iOS5.0.1, and Verizon. My friend is using a LG Rumor Touch on Sprint

Haha thats frustrating. Can you think of any reason why normal texts would stop going through (to him at least)? And is there any other solution that you can think of?

I don't know why it is doing it. Start a text message convo with him with his number entered twice and just leave it. See if the problem resolves itself. At least you (well I) found a way for you to get him texts.

I occasionally get one right. Well at least better in this case.
Has to be a server error somehow. Have you tried adding his number to a new contact?

Yeah, I've deleted and added it a few times. Doesn't seem to do anything.

EDIT: Haha, yeah I'll tell him to call Spring if it keeps it up

Try texting to your friends that uses AT&T or Verizon. You will soon see that it's Sprint to blame. I have my share of these horror myself. ;)

The op said that he could text everyone but one person. Odds are someone else he is texting is on sprint.

I'm not sure who all is on what provider, but I'll try and track down another Sprint user to see if it is actually Sprint or just something weird between our phones.
