Error 31: Other network problem

I suddenly can't send texts and keep getting Error 31: Other network problem. My data and wifi services are working fine, i.e. I can access the internet. I have tried rebooting my phone and disconnecting/reconnecting from mobile data to no avail.

 

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 FYI.

Hello josephyeh, having text messaging issue with your service can be frustrating, especially if it's your main form of communication, we want to find a fix. When did the issue start? Where is it happening (city and cross streets)? Who else is experiencing the problem (friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, etc.)?

An iPhone user with whom I need to communicate via text says he is unable to receive a lot of non-iPhone text messages.  When I tried to text him from my Samsung, the message did not go through and I received an Error 31 code below my message.  What is the source of this problem?

I am having this same problem on my note 9.  The strage thing is it seems like I am only having problems texting one person in particular.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems texting one phone number in particular. Is the phone you're trying to text an Android or iPhone device?
