Hello, so basically this is a really strange issue. I can send text to my android friends without any issue but this one contact I have trouble sending an SMS to. I can call this number and receive texts from this number I just cant send texts. Any ideas?
Got a tip for us?

Instead of us having to guess what you have or have not tried, maybe it would be easier if you shared that info.
I have tried restarting the phone and thats about it. I don't know what to try considering I can call the number but not send texts to it.
Has your friend switched from an iPhone to an android device? If so as him to visit the website below. His number may still be registered with Apple if he didn't switch iMessage off before removing his SIM card.

Then it's not an issue with your iMessage or iPhone. It's a carrier issue or the format you've saved his number.
I would delete his contact info and messages. Then get him to text you and save his contact from that text. See if that resolves the issue. If it dosnt call your carrier
I actually tried to do what you suggested to no avail, looks like I'll have to ring my carrier. Thanks for the help though.
One last thing, are you formatting his number correctly? For me my numbers are all saved like this +44 7515 542783 as an example
Tried re-adding his number from the text directly, also tried re-formatting to your format with no luck
