More information please.

-What phone does she have?
-Does she not only get your message when you text from a certain location? (like Home or Work).
-Does she not only get your message when She is in a certain location? (like Home or Work).
-Are the messages regular text message or are they MMS?
-When texting from various locations, whats your reception generally like, as well has her reception?

Thanks for the speedy reply...
1-EnV 3
2-It happens everywhere
3-So far it has happened at a theme park and home
4-Regular texts
5-My reception varies from 3 to 5 bars where I generally go...4 bars at home and she gets 1-4 bars...one bar should be fine shouldn't it? I'm talking to her on the phone (not texting) right now and she has one bar, i thought texts needed less signal than calls...

A quick Google search does show that this is happening to a lot users and the issue is actually going to be with your GF phone rather than your iPhone. Has she tried calling Tech Support?

I forgot to ask before, are you getting her messages?

I'm sorry, but it has to be said, the door is wide open. Maybe she's just not into you anymore.

Check and see if your iPhone is adding +1 in front of the number. Try removing it and see if the other person gets the text. I had this problem when I was with Verizon and as soon as I removed the +1 from all numbers text went through fine.
