Cant txt non verizon

[Jax1078]

Whenever I try to text via pc to any non verizon number I get the message that it cant be delivered due to invalid address. I know the number is right and i input it in the 1234567890 style. This sucks times like now when Im trying to text a friend because I accidentally left my phone at their house. Whats the deal?

Texting via the PC?

Are you putting the right domain name with the phone number?

For Verizon Wireless it is phonenumber@vtext.com and for other carriers it is different. The list has been posted in this community before and it might be found with a web search.

There may be some restrictions on your phone line. Did the account owner put usage controls on your line?
