In the past month I have found 3 numbers I can't send text messages to. All 3 are valid UK mobile numbers and unrelated. I am able to text most other numbers I try.
I have checked the Message center number.
Sending these texts is part of my volunteer work for a charity so I had to borrow my sister's phone to send them. She is on Vodafone and they went through fine.

Hi @elliem163,
Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂
Are you able to call the numbers?
What happens when you try to send a text?

I'm not currently allowed to calll the numbers as we need authorisation from the individuals to call them.
When I send a text it just says 'Not sent. tap to try again'

Hi @elliem163
Is it possible that your number has been added to their block list, even if it was accidental? Is there any way that you can check with them?

I doubt it as I have never contacted them before. I don't know if they might be blocking any number they don't know.
I can try to email them
Thanks

Yes, it would be unlikely if they don't know your number or if you have never called them before, @elliem163
What kind of phone are you using?
