GoSMS auto-loads incorrect number when I text

I use GoSMS as my default SMS program. The first time I entered a number I frequently contact, I accidentally left off the area code. I corrected it, but now it always defaults to the number sans area code when I text that person, resulting in a "non deliverable" message back.

Basically, every time I text this person, I have to go into the person's details and select the correct number from my contact list. Then it will update the number it's delivering to. But the next time I text that person, it does not remember the correction and reverts to the number that doesn't work.

How can I permanently correct this? The number is entered correctly in my contacts list, so it's pulling the wrong number from someplace in GoSMS's memory bank.

It's pretty aggravating, because it's a constant problem. I have not been able to find a GoSMS support forum, so feel free to direct me to a more appropriate place to seek help.
 
Welcome to Android Forums! You might want to try going to your Settings menu then to Apps then GoSMS and clear the cache. Sometimes that will fix it.
 
Hi, thanks for your reply.

I tried doing this, but there was no cache to be deleted. In Application Settings for Go SMS it says:
Cache.............0.00B
and the "Clear cache" button is greyed out.

Begrudgingly, I went ahead and deleted every conversation in my Go SMS In box with this number. I then started a new one by selecting the corrected number from my Contact list.

However, the next time he texted me it started a separate thread under the misentered number, without his area code. And when I add to the conversation I started to his correct number, it automatically redirects to the number without area code. End result being I can not text this person or reply to this person without getting a "delivery failed" message, unless I edit the number manually every time.

Further suggestions strongly welcomed.
