Contact w/Android not receiving texts

I have the iPhone 5. Friend who has Android received texts first 2 days. However, since Sunday, I receive texts from her but she doesn't receive my replies or texts initiated by me. I reset network settings, turned off the phone, deleted and re-added contact, and removed my SIM card. Nothing worked. Any suggestions?

Hi Bgblufan
I know how important text messaging can be! I use text messaging for everything! Let's get this fixed so you can go back to enjoying your device!

Do you or your friend have a signature at the end of your message? For Example; a smiley face or " Sent from ...'s phone". If so, please remove it and retest. Please delete all old messages from this contact and retest.

Please ensure the contact is set up as a 10 digit contact only. Are you using a 3rd party application to receive text messages? Are they? Does this happen with any other contacts?

Please let me know if the issue persists!

Thank you

Bgblufan,

Exactly the same thing is happening to me and it started Sunday as well. I did not change any settings however. I have Iphone 5 and my wife has HTC Rhyme.  She is not getting my texts (other than 1 I sent that yesterday that had other contacts in the To:)
