If you explained the situation to the Apple engineer, perhaps it's a bug in Apple's code that they would be interested in fixing. Whether these options are worse than your current suffering is something you seem to judge as higher. | |

The engineers won't talk to me about someone else's number, so I can't try that approach. I need a unilateral solution & there simply doesn't appear to be one. | |

| Nov 11, 2014 at 14:22 | comment | added | Tetsujin | The essential problem is that there is nothing I can do from my side; it relies on the other party to do that. I'm not that close to them; it's an agency, they send work, I accept, we all get paid. They maintain it's never been associated with any Apple account, it's a call-counter, attached to a computer. I've been struggling with just this one number for 2 years now :( Every iOS upgrade makes the process more difficult. Used to be able to hold send for 3s in iOS6, in 7 you had to switch to aiplane mode & it would error. iOS 8 neither of those work; I have to disable iMessage, then re-enable. | |
