My dad can send me text messages, but he is not receiving any of mine.

My dad can send/receive text messages from everybody else.

I can send/receive text messages from everybody else.

So why isn't he receiving mine?

Which OS?

Is it some sort of blacklist like in iOS?

By any chance, has he moved away from an iPhone?

What phones are you both using and what network are you both on?

That was my first thought. One of you moving from Imessage

Turn off imessage and try again

We're both using Windows Phone (Lumia 920s). I'm on Virgin Mobile and he's recently (a few months ago) switched to Three. I don't know when he stopped receiving my texts as he's getting rather OCD in his old age and deletes all his messages as 'he doesn't need them/saves space/looks tidier'.

My mum is on Tesco and my wife on T-Mobile - two way comms fine with them.

He can send/receive with himself fine.

Is there a blacklist in WP?

Oh, yes - neither of us ever had iPhones.

EDIT: Just looked on my phone and there is a block number option if you press & hold on contact in messaging. Here's hoping it's as simple as that.

The numpty had me in his blocked contact list. He doesn't know how it happened. He's blaming Aliens.
