Cannot text one number

I can not text one number and it is driving me crazy!!  I recieved a message that says "you can only send messages to fixed dialing numbers".  I do not know what that means.  I can send texts to Verizon, and T-Mobile phones.  I can send and recieve calls from the number but I can not text.  

This is recent that this has happened.  I was able to send and recieve texts from this one numbers, but it seems as of OCtober, I can not.  

Is anyone else having this issue??  It is truely driving me crazy!!

Have you tried checking the number and making sure it doesn't have any strange letters or numbers because sometimes Facebook and other Apps like this places a +1 before.the number that cause issues like this.

Yes,  I have.  I checked the number, re-typed the number, deleted facebook off of my phone, and it keeps happening...

Try checking Menu / Settings / Call Settings / FDN and make sure fix dialing option isnt enabled, if this is on this can restrict in and out going items.. 

 

Another thing to check with Verizon and make sure no restrictions is setup on your accounts or you can check and make sure you havent added that number to the block list on the MyVerizon area of your account.

I do not have an option for FDN in my call settings. Is it somewhere else? 

 

 I can receive texts from the number but cannot send texts to this number... It is very annoying.

I think I figured out the issue.  It is an issue with Verizon.  It is still not fixed, but I believe we have figured it out.
