Okay, gurus. I think this is a strange one. I have one contact where I cannot attach a picture to a text message. When I try I see the following:
"Not sent, click to try again"
Trying again does not work. The phone is some android LG device and her service was from Trakfone (which uses different carriers, I believe). Oh, she could send me pictures attached to text from that phone while I could not send her pictures.
But what made this more interesting was the addition of a new phone in her arsenal. For three weeks she was adapting to an iphone that her son added to his line. She was trying to decide if she wanted to change depending on how T-mobile's service worked on Whidbey Island where she visits frequently. The iphone had its own number with T-mobile. I was able to attach pictures to texts using the iphone's original number. I have being doing that periodically for three or so weeks. No problem. Pictures attach and arrive. And she could also send me pictures attached to texts using that iphone.
So, yesterday she decides to switch to the iphone and transfers her original phone number to the new iphone. Guess what? I canNOT send pictures attached to text messages. I get that same error shown above. Can a phone number alone block pictures?
I even inspected my contacts and compared her info and number format to my other contacts where I can send picture attachments. I could not spot anything. I have a variety of formats created over the years. 1-206-999-9999, 1 (206) 999-9999. 206-999-9999. So some with a leading 1, some with Parenthesis, some with and without dashes. I don't see any common denominator between her number and others.
Or is it possible that her listing for my contact contains some restriction and moving to the new iphone (and possibly moving contacts) moved some restriction?
I am really befuddled.
HELP!
PS: Any better forum or subforum to post this question.
