Google assistant not sending text messages

[Android Central Question]

I downloaded the Google Assistant for Android
It does everything I ask it to except sending text messages. It will write the message and say it's sending but it always say "message not sent". I have the Alcatel PULSEmix.

Thank you!

If you imported contacts from IOS or perhaps elsewhere this will happen. The problem is they use a non breaking space character after the '(xxx)'. You can fix this with a hex editor. Find and replace all 29 00 A0 00 with 29 00 20 00 and it will begin working.
