Exclamation HELP- anyone know whats wrong?

My friend has metro pcs and he got his number changed today. He texed me from his new number, but when i try to text back it says error invalid number. Then it says something about using a valid short code. I have service with AT&T and i'm thinking it might have something to do with my phone. Does anyone know what the problem is?

thanks

Hello and welcome to WA.

Can you give us some more information please:

1. Have you had problem texting with a Metro PCS cutomer before?

2. What phone do you have?

If your problem started after your friend changed his number, i would guess that the new number may not have been in the system long enough to be be accessible by non-Metro customers. The new number should be fully functional by 4-24 hours, specially for texting. Are you still having the problem today?

is the number your texting to in the +1(phone number) format or just the 10 digit number?
