Well, there is a lot you have not told us. Examples:

  • What type of message?
    • iMessage?
    • SMS text message?
  • How are you addressing the message?
    • To your friend’s phone number?
    • Some other way?
  • Is there only one person you cannot message?
  • Can that person send you messages?
  • Might you have blocked this person?
  • Did this just start?
  • What other pertinent facts have you not told us?
