Re: unable to send text messages to several contacts
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
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.

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.
