Welcome to the community.

What phone are you using?

Are you able to text other contacts?

Can you call this contact?

Are you trying to send a new message, or reply to an older one/previous thread?

Can you make a note of the number, then delete the contact and try sending the number a text?

Make sure you use the format 07 instead of +447.
