Sporadically not receiving texts from one specific contact out of hundreds.

[Android Central Question]

I have one and only one contact (she is an iphone, I am galaxy S5) whose texts I sporadically do not receive out of hundreds of contacts in my phone. So infuriatingly frustrating! Has caused a lot of tension. We can send dozens that go through fine and then I do not receive one. Anyone else? Is it as simple as deleting her and adding her back in as new?

Welcome to Android Central! I wonder if some of those missed messages are being sent from iPhone as iMessage, not SMS. I don't know much about how iMessage works, but perhaps if she was in an area of poor cell reception but she was on wi-fi, iMessage tried sending the message as iMessage, not SMS (which means it wouldn't get to your Android device, since Android doesn't support iMessage).

Let me check with some colleagues who know a bit more about iPhones.
