Text Message - Tech Question (1 Viewer)

[cubd8]

I have a Samsung S10 and a friend of mine, who has an Apple IPhone, has recently not been able to send text messages to me. On her end, they don't go through, get rejected.

Any idea on what is causing this? I did recently get the S10 so not sure if there's a strange setting, etc. that would be causing this. I'm not aware of any other people who can't text me from an Apple...

Anyways, has anyone experienced an issue like this?

As a test, I have a work Apple IPhone. I sent a text message to my personal Samsung S10 and it was received.

So, this one person, it appears, is not able to send messages to me.

It's a well known problem.

"The Cause of the Bug

When two iPhone users are texting each other, by default their messages are sent via iMessage, Apple's free iPhone-to-iPhone messaging tool (you can know a text has been sent using iMessage because your word balloon in the Messages app is blue). When one person in a conversation has an iPhone and the other person has another kind of phone — Android, for instance — traditional text messaging is used (represented by the green word balloon).  

No problems so far. The problem comes in when someone who used to have an iPhone, and thus used iMessage, switches to Android or another platform. In that scenario, Apple's system sometimes fails to recognize that a switch has been made and it will still try to deliver the text via iMessage.

Because the iMessage network is totally separate from the standard text messaging network, the message dead-ends and never gets delivered to its recipient. To make matters worse, the sender doesn't know that the message wasn't delivered, either."

I wonder what folks would say about a product like i-message if Microsoft had produced it?

Agreed.  Apple does some stupid ####.

Maybe have her delete and recreate your contact.

Have her send a message (or go back to one she already sent) and hold down on it until "Send as a text message" comes up and try that.
