    When you just can’t send text messages to one person on your Android phone, try these troubleshooting ways –

    Check if the contact is blocked

    If text messages are being sent to all other contacts but it just one specific contact that you are unable to send a message to, then probably that contact might be blocked on your phone knowingly or unknowingly or someone who has access to your Android device just might have blocked their number.

    To check if a contact is blocked –

    1. Launch the Messages app
    2. Tap on the three dots
    3. Select Spam and Blocked
    4. Tap on the three dots
    5. Choose Blocked Contacts
    6. Check if that number is listed

    Note that if you haven’t blocked that number then you need to also make sure that the person you are trying to send a text message to is not blocking you. Who knows if they accidentally or willingly listed your phone number on their blocked list. So, it’s better to ask them directly.

    Reboot your Android phone

    Sometimes, just a simple reboot can solve your problem. Restarting your device will give it a fresh start and will fix some minor issues like network errors, the device being unresponsive or frozen, etc. It’s better to try this too –

    1. Press & hold the Power button
    2. Choose Restart/Reboot
    3. Your phone will reboot
    4. Try sending a text to that number again

    Note that the steps to reboot an android device vary with the version. However, the above steps are the most common ones.

    Check if the number is working

    You will have to check if the number that you are trying to send a text is actually working or not. In order to do so, simply make a phone call and know whether it’s ringing or getting a busy tone, or just switched off.

    If it’s ringing or you get a busy tone, it’s clear that the phone number is being used. However, getting a busy tone might suggest us two things – 1) The person is on another phone call or 2) The person blocked you from his/her end.

    If you have a common friend, try reaching out to them and ask them to send a text to this specific person and get to know whether only your messages are not being sent or not.

    Deactivate iMessage

    If you are trying to send text messages to a person who is an iPhone user, then the actual reason behind this could be iMessage. It’s iPhone’s own messaging network that may sometimes block your messages as you are an Android user. So, that iPhone user needs to disable iMessage on his/her iPhone in order to receive messages from you normally. To deactivate iMessage –

    Ask that iPhone user to perform these steps,

    1. Connect the iPhone to wifi
    2. Launch the Settings app
    3. Go to Messages
    4. Turn off iMessage

    Note that the change may take affect only after a few minutes. So, until then you will have to keep your iPhone powered on.

    Unlike other parts of the Indian Coast, the fishing industry has not developed along the Saurashtra coast because of the overwhelming dependence on agriculture and animal husbandry.

    Hi, almost every state deposits the unemployment benefit either via bank deposit or debit card. The payment will be made either Biweekly or weekly and it highly depends on the state in which you live. For example, Alaska has a bi-weekly payment system whereas Alabama pays weekly.

    State-wise unemployment deposit dates:

    1. Alabama – Weekly
    2. Alaska – Bi-Weekly
    3. Arizona – Weekly
    4. Arkansas – Weekly
    5. California – Bi-Weekly
    6. Colorado – Bi-weekly
    7. Connecticut – Weekly
    8. Delaware – Weekly
    9. District of Columbia – Weekly
    10. Florida – Bi-Weekly
    11. Georgia – Weekly
    12. Hawaii – Weekly & Bi-Weekly (No Debit Card)
    13. Idaho – Weekly
    14. Illinois – Weekly
    15. Indiana – Weekly
    16. Iowa – Weekly
    17. Kansas – Weekly
    18. Kentucky – Bi-Weekly
    19. Louisiana – Weekly
    20. Maine – Weekly
    21. Maryland – Weekly
    22. Massachusetts – Weekly
    23. Michigan – Bi-Weekly
    24. Minnesota – Weekly
    25. Mississippi – Weekly
    26. Missouri – Weekly
    27. Montana – Weekly or Bi-Weekly
    28. Nebraska – Weekly
    29. Nevada – Weekly
    30. New Hampshire – Weekly
    31. New Jersey – Weekly
    32. New Mexico – Weekly
    33. New York – Weekly
    34. North Carolina – Weekly
    35. North Dakota – Weekly
    36. Ohio – Weekly
    37. Oklahoma – Weekly
    38. Oregon – Weekly
    39. Pennsylvania – Bi-Weekly
    40. Rhode Island – Weekly
    41. South Carolina – Weekly
    42. South Dakota – Weekly
    43. Tennessee – Weekly

    47. Virginia – Weekly
    48. Washington – Weekly

    50. Wisconsin – Weekly

    Remember that every state has its own rules regarding the unemployment deposits on the day at which the payment should be released after a claim has been filed. For example, if you file a bi-weekly claim in California, the certification will be verified within 24 hours and the amount will be deposited in your bank account. At the same time, if a claim has been filed in the state of Florida, the payment will be released after completion of the verification process.

    The capital city Olympia not only constitutes the governmental buildings but is also a great place for the tourists. With the presence of exquisite museums, farmer markets, and several other instances of pièce de résistance, the city ceases to grab the attention of the outsiders like a whimsical world.

    Besides, here are some of the weird or unusual things that you can do if you are about to visit this place:

    1. Visit Mima Mounds. So, what’s unusual about this place? Nobody has any idea about how these humps were created. Some say it was an earthquake, whereas others consider it to be extraterrestrial activity. Well, I guess that would remain a mystery for a long time.

    2. And how does Bordeaux sound? It was once believed to be a logging town that has now transformed into a mere part of ruins which is covered with moss all over the place. It is also situated somewhere in the dense woods of Washington. Whatever you are going to witness is just the remains of it.

    3. Or maybe you can contemplate about The Procession of the Species. If it’s the fourth Saturday of April, you’ll get to see a huge gathering dressed up with fancy animal costumes that range from lions to whales. And what’s the occasion? The celebration of Earth Day.

    On the other hand, The Procession of the Species also proliferates the awareness of endangered species.

    Moreover, you can pack yourself with amusement if you get an opportunity to visit Olympia.
