I'm posting this on behalf of a friend. He bought an iPhone 7 and ported his number from Vodafone to Skinny Direct. When he tries to send a text message to Canada, it comes up with "not delivered". Resetting network settings didn't help. Skinny hasn't been able to find anything wrong, and suggested that he try the SIM in a different phone.

 

We've just put his SIM into my iPhone 6, and sent a message to the same number, and it sent successfully. We've been through the settings and can't find any obvious differences.

 

Texts to NZ and Australia work fine. Does anyone know what could cause this sort of issue?

Failing as an iMessage or SMS?  Turn off iMessage and try again perhaps?  Failing that as outlined I suspect it will be with the contact settings.  Delete the contact and try again making sure to use the correct international codes (or get the person in Canada to text first and then save those details in the contacts.  





Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation
