Samsung Galaxy S3

Anonymous — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 23:32:35 GMT

So I got my new phone this week.
Everything is going great with it, except, I can't text one friend on my contact list.
I can text everyone else, but her. She can text me, but i can't reply, it just wont do it. I have no idea why.
Can anyone help me?

Is it possible they have accidentally added you to their block list?

No, she can text me fine, but it wont let me reply. 😕 It just keeps saying "failed"

Can you text her directly, ie, not by repling to her text?

No. I can call her, but not text. \ I really don't know what's wrong.

First step, turn off and take battery out for 5 mins, then try again. What network are you having issues texting? Can you text to others on same network as your friends?

It didn't work 😞
She's on o2 aswell. I don't know what network everyone else is on, but I can text them fine.

Check you can text someone else on O2, It could be an issue in your message settings.

Can only be an issue with your friends phone.... You've discounted evrything else. Get her to do the battery out reset and check she's not got you blocked. Do she use an androind phone? Have any message apps etc that could interfere ?

She's already checked with everything and said it was fine. Yeah I believe she has a htc, I don't think so. I could text her with my old phone, but when I tried with this, she's the only one my phone wont let me. 😕 It's really frustrating.

Perhaps you could try deleting her out of your contacts altogether and re-enter all the details from scratch? Ask her to do the same, worth a try. Reboot after deleting her before re-adding her.

Reminds me of Outlook Express years ago, I would have to delete and re-enter the same settings and it would work again.
