Driving me nuts!

[rabernet]

I'm trying to send a text to a friend of mine - to his cell, but I keep getting a message "xxx-xxx-xxxx is a landline #. Reply Y to send all TXT messages to this # as voice messages for $0.25/msg + std msg fee. Details @ vtext.com, TexttoLandline"

I KNOW that this is not a landline, I've texted him many times before from my previous phone. Any work around?

This pirate walks into a bar with a big ship's wheel down his pants. The bartender says, "Excuse me, sir, but do you know you have a ship's wheel down the front of your pants?"
And the pirate says...
Aaargh, it's driving me nuts!!

Ahem... Do you know what carrier the number is on?

Try handcent in the market.

I would call Verizon they should be able to fix it. If the other number is not Verizon a third party sms vendie handles all texts.

Well, it started when I loaded Handcent, so I un-installed it and it's still doing that.

He's with AT&T I think.

Thanks - I'll call them tomorrow and see what's up.

Was just hoping maybe someone had experienced the same thing before and knew how to resolve it.

I don't like the way the messaging is set up. If they have 3 numbers you have the option of sending messages to those 3 numbers. Who is going to send a text to a home or work number. My eris isnt set up like this, I don't know why the Incredible is.

Are you running the 1.5 OS?
