how do I fix certain contacts that I can no longer text?

[iMore Question]

Some of my contacts have become gray and I can no longer text these contacts.

Is it possible that those people have blocked you? Are you certain the contact numbers are active? Have you tried rebooting your device?

Have you tried deleting the contact? Then adding it back in?
