Why can't I reply to a text message from a friend?

Hi,

I am currently abroad on lockdown but can use my UK mobile to send and receive messages. This always works with the exception of one UK number. I can receive texts from this friend's number without a problem but when I try and send a message back it doesn't get delivered. Any ideas please?!

Hi there, I have tried calling and it says please check the number.

It seems odd that I received the text with the number given though.

Not sure what to do now!

Hi @Chris0804

Thanks for posting on the community.

Do you have the number saved in your phone contacts?

Can you text or call the number from another phone?

Leanne 🙂
