Hi there! I'm here to help you with the issue of not being able to send text messages to certain numbers through AT&T Office@Hand. Can you provide a bit more detail? For instance, are you getting any error messages, or is it just that the messages don’t go through at all? Also, are the numbers you're trying to text part of your contacts or are they completely new numbers? This will help me understand the situation better!

Thanks for the additional information! It seems like the issue might relate to message restrictions or settings, especially since these are client numbers. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this situation:

1. Check Message Settings:
- First, open your AT&T Office@Hand application.
- Go to the Settings by clicking on the gear icon.
- Look for the "Messages" section and verify if there are any settings that could restrict your ability to send messages to new numbers.

2. Verify the Numbers:
- Ensure that the numbers you're trying to message are formatted correctly. That means including the country code if they are international or ensuring there are no typos.

3. Contact Support for Number Regulations:
- Sometimes certain numbers may have restrictions due to regulations or compliance requirements (like spam protection). You may want to check this with support.
- You can read more about troubleshooting message application rejections here.

4. Test Message Quality:
- Try sending a message to a number you previously had success with to confirm that the app is working correctly.

5. Application Permissions:
- If you're using the app on a mobile device, confirm that the app has permissions to access your messaging preferences. You might need to check your phone settings for app permissions.

If none of these suggestions help resolve the issue, it might be beneficial to contact AT&T support directly. They can look into whether there are any restrictions on your account related to sending messages to those specific numbers.

Actually I had been able to send until a few days ago and then the office at hand would say message not sent.

Thanks for your patience! Since you mentioned that sending messages was working fine until just a few days ago, it could be related to a temporary issue with your account or a change in settings. Here are a few steps to consider:

1. Check for Service Outages:
Sometimes, issues can occur due to service outages. You can check for any reported outages on the AT&T status page.

2. Inspect Account Settings:
- Log into your AT&T Office@Hand account and verify if there have been any changes to your message plan or limits.
- Check if there are any restrictions on sending messages to new numbers.

3. Verify if the Numbers Are Blocked:
- Ensure that the numbers you are trying to message haven’t been accidentally blocked in your settings.

4. Try Removing and Re-adding the Numbers:
- Sometimes, just removing the number from your 'recent messages' or 'contacts' and then adding it back can help reset any issues related to it.

5. Reboot or Update Your App:
- Restart the AT&T Office@Hand app, or check if updates are available for it and install them.

6. Contact Support:
- If you're still unable to send messages after these steps, I recommend contacting AT&T support for personalized assistance. They can check your account and resolve any potential blocks or restrictions.

You can find more details on troubleshooting message issues on their official support pages: Troubleshooting TCR SMS Application Rejections.

There are a few common issues that users experience with AT&T Office@Hand messaging. Here are some key points to consider:

1. Message Rejections:
Messages may be rejected due to missing opt-in/out messages or incorrect consent details. Issues like prohibited content or age gates can also prevent messages from being sent. It's essential to ensure that your messages comply with all regulations here.

2. Network or Internet Issues:
Base connectivity problems can lead to messaging failures. A strong and stable internet connection is necessary for the Office@Hand application to function properly here.

3. Blocked Numbers or Restrictions:
Sometimes, certain numbers may be blocked on your account, preventing you from sending messages. Additionally, there may be restrictions based on account configurations or settings.

4. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
If your account has multi-factor authentication enabled, issues related to verification can sometimes hinder messaging capabilities.

5. Compliance or Regulatory Issues:
If you are trying to message clients, ensure that your messaging adheres to compliance regulations, as businesses often face scrutiny regarding SMS communications here.

If you experience issues sending messages, it may also be worthwhile to directly check your individual account settings with support personnel at AT&T, as there could be specific limitations affecting your account.
