1. Were you having this conversation earlier in Fossify Messages, and it just stopped working? Or these are old messages that you exchanged in another app?
2. Can you share how that number is saved in your contacts? I don't mean the exact number, but a pattern like +48 (00) 000 00 00 or 000 000 000. I'd like to know if there's something despite digits and how long it is.

1. The caller sent me a message on Fossify. I could not reply to it due to the number being mistakenly considered short-code. I held the conversation in another app and now I'm back on the Fossify Messages app.
2. The screenshots below show what format the sender's number is stored in:
