Can't send text to some people

I have a problem with texting that is driving me buggy.  I can't send a text message to my wife or my son.  They are both part of my friends and family plan.  There may be others, but I don't send a lot of text messages (there are at least six or seven that are completely normal).  If I just enter their phone number, it will send the text ok.  But, as soon as I try to continue the thread or use the contact (for the send to) it just returns the message "text not sent".

Any ideas?

Do you have their phone numbers saveed in your contacts with the full ten digit number?  You may want to delete the number from the contact and then add it back in.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

That solution does work ... sort of.  Because of Facebook or something, the phone number is locked.  However, I entered it again as a 9 digit phone number and that worked.

Anybody know how to unlock and remove the original number?
