Dealing with texting woes on iPhone 3.0


I just got a new iPhone. Good riddance to the old cracked up, patched up and duct taped dying device I had for years. PLUS... the new iphone have the new 3.0 software, with cut and paste and everything.

BUT... unfortunately, in texting terms... it hasn't all been bliss. If you ever encounter an error, saying simply that it couldn't sent. And that error keeps happening. And it's driving you nuts? Well then, look here.

1. In the conversation with that one person that you can't send to; tap the "edit" button.
2. Then hit the "Clear all" button up left top.
3. Tap "Done", and then "Back".
4. Then swipe over the empty conversation with the name of the person in question. Hit the red delete button.
5. Finally. Quit the texting app by hitting the home button.

Phew. Then try it again. Start a new text to that person, and it should work now.
Downside is that you are gonna loose a lot of texts, so here's hoping it's only a select few of your phone book this issue is tied to.
