Since you are able to call her , it sounds as if she may have accidentally blocked your text messages.


Have her try the following steps:


Settings > Messages > Blocked Contacts > If your name or number is listed, swipe Left to unblock it.


If not, please let us know and someone on this user-helping-user forum will assist. It might also be useful to let us know which device(s) you are both using.
