Help Problem with favorites widget

Newbie
So i have been having a problem with a couple of the people on my favorites saying they are invalid recipients whenever i would click on them to send them a message. If I go in and delete them from my favorites, then re add them, it will work fine for a day or two then go back to being invalid recipients. it gets very frustrating to go back every two or 3 days and fix this, weird thing is, it only happens to the same 2 of my favorites. Anyone else have this issue?
 
I haven't experienced your problem but can see how aggravating it would be. Being as it's the same two contacts in your favorites I would take a serious look at what makes them unique. My guess is that there is something in their profile or contact info that is causing your grief. Are they Fb contacts? Are they twitter? Google? etc.
Something somewhere is either changing their contact info on sync or there is something hosed about their contact info in general. I hope you unravel your problem.
 
Yeah that was my thought too, seeing what made those two different. But they are both facebook, neither twitter or google either. Hell, all of my favorites are facebook only. Only thing I have noticed is that both numbers come up different than I have them entered into my phonebook. For example, I put all numbers in as 5557891234, but the two problem ones show up different when I search for them by name, one 555.789.1234 the other 555 789 1234. I have no idea why. If I go to my contacts, it shows the numbers as I entered them. As far as I know, neither have their phone numbers on facebook. And one is a verizon customer, the other at&t

Again.. just a guess... I think they are fb numbers. Try editing your contacts to reflect how they show up when you do a search. Or contact those two fb people and see if their numbers are part of their fb contact info and see if their entries match how they show up on your phone.
You could try removing their fb link for a couple of days and see if the problem continues. Your problem just about has to be along those lines.
