Hello Lisa & welcome to the giffgaff Community

You should probably check the service status in your area by following this link http://www.bit.ly/ggservicestatus and entering your postcode. This should give you display any local issues, including planned work, as well as indicating signal strength (2G & 3G) & outages.

If you find that there are no issues with the signal you can try manual roaming- http://tiny.cc/243r0w

Hi, can you text to other numbers ?

Are sure that it's a uk network mobile ,as there are a few numbers starting with 07 which wouldn't be included in any goodybags ?

Sometimes just swutching your phone off, waiting a few mins and then switching it back on will sort the problem as it forces a connection.

Check too that you have the correct SMS centre number +447802002606

Have you credit or a goodybag, if so then reboot your phone and try again

do you have credits?

Are you able to text other numbers? If it's just that specific one it might be a Jersey or other special type of number which you'll need airtime credit for.

I have tried everything you guys have suggested but still not working and I have a goodie bag only thing I can think of is that I have requested to change me number back to my old one which won't be done till tomorrow

Are you able to text other numbers? Is it just the one that isn't working? Can you post the first five digits of the number you're contacting?
