I type in the name or part of the name, then double tap. The phone displays any names with those characters and I double tap on the one I want. I don't go to contacts at all.

I've had similar issues, where texting from contacts hasn't always worked. I'd also be interested in answers. As for texting with Siri, I've not run into a limit. And, if Siri stops before you're ready, and when she asks if you want to sent it, say "Append." She will then ask you what you want to add.

Subject: A Rookie Question about Texting

This evening I tried to send a text to a friend who’s in my contacts. At the “to†field, I typed in her name. Then I flicked right to “add contact†and found her name in the table, and double-tapped. Then I flicked right and there was her phone number with her name; double-tapped there. Then I flicked right to the message field and double-tapped typed in my message, and tapped Send. The message did not go through.

When you are sending a message to somebody in your contacts, which is what I’m going to do most of the time, do you type in their name, or do you just go straight to “add contact†and choose them? Sometimes I can get this to work just fine, and sometimes it seems to confound me. So I exit out and ask Siri to do it. IN this case I wanted to say more than Siri allows …
 What am I doing wrong? I feel really silly.
