Hi alan1953,
Thank you for posting on the Community Forums, I'm sorry to hear that you've had trouble receiving some texts from your friend whilst he's staying in the UK. Has this only started happening since he's been in the UK?
Have you been able to see whether other texts he's sending to numbers in the UK are being redirected to another number? It's possible that this may be an issue with his SIM/carrier.
I would advise that he checks to see whether your number is formatted correctly in his contacts?
I would also advise to check to see whether dial assist is switch on on his handset, and if it is to turn that setting off and test to see if the text is still being re directed.
Let us know,
Beth
