iPhone Texting Fails

"Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code."

This from an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1. Googling the error shows posts back to 2008 with no clear etiology, workaround, or resolution. 

A combination of the proposed fixes seems to have worked for me to fix it this time. I deleted the contact, deleted the message threads (original and error), and did a double button hot restart. Then I texted the problem number. Then created a new contact with the number. Glad to be past it for now. Not sure what service the other person has but I'm on ATT and it was a text not a message (green).

An uncomplicated way to do business is to utilize the mobile phone technology. Business texting may not be a familiar term for you to use, but it makes a lot of sense if you want to advance your products and services, as well as to make your tasks a lot easier. It's a thing you can't easily comprehend, but if you do, it will surely help you a lot.
