    hello All, i am with meteor, and use a LG phone

    I have a friends number saved and whenaver i try to text her and select her name alittle box pops up saying invalid contact.(this problem has followed me from my last phone.

    Had same problem with daughter and found on her android phone that she had added number to blocked list somewhere on her phone. So phone would ring once then drop call. As for other issue try setting up contact again with more in the name of this fails contact provided of your network for support as it's been on two phones.

    If it rings once and then goes to voicemail or drops, you're likely on their blocked list. You can try turning your caller ID off and calling them and see if the same thing happens. If it does you're definitely blocked by them. If the same thing happens when you turn caller ID off then both you and them then contact your network provider - may also be worth them contacting theirs also to see if there is a reason on their end why they can't receive your calls. Could be a routing issue from your network to theirs.

    Have you ever been able to ring the friend who you can't contact? Have you double checked their number is correctly saved into your phone? Have you tried manually inputting it?
