Issue sending txts to certain contacts

[Arsenic]

There are certain people on my contacts list that my bionic will absolutely not send a txt message to. People can send me messages but when i reply it always come up with a send error. I have tried rebooting, taking out the battery, etc. I have no idea why it is only certain contacts, can someone help me figure out what might be causing this?

Many thanks,
Arsenic

Are they on the same network or different networks? Do they actually have an SMS plan or are they paying per SMS? Can anyone else send them SMS from the same network as you?

Check the phone number of your friend in your contacts and see if there is a + symbol in front of the number. If there is, delete it. Also, make sure the number in your contacts is labeled Mobile or it won't be usable to text. Hope this helps.

My phone imported many numbers from facebook, even though I didnt want it to. i find that I have duplicate contacts, and yes many of them have + infront of them. I was unaware of the home vs mobile thing, I will try both of these and see if it solved the issue. Thank you both!
