I can't text to a 5 digit number. Am I doing anything wrong?

I'm assuming you just text the number like you would a normal number. No, this isn't a scam, because it's a new poll thing my professor is using during class (instead of using clickers).

But every time I try and text that 5 digit number, it's not sending the message and keeps saying that the message failed to send. I have unlimited texting, unlimited data plan, T-mobile, and a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze. I read somewhere that texting to a 5 digit number requires a premium message plan or something like that. Is that true? If so, why can everyone else in my lecture able to text to that number and I can't? I'm really upset because we had to pay $14 for that poll. :/

    Go to the person or office that you bought the poll from and ask why it's not working for you. And if it won't work, you want a refund. End of story!

    Good luck!

    Decimals didn't exist? I do not know anything about that, but all rational numbers will also be expressed without decimals, so that is now not going to motive a problem except you attempt to use a non-rational actual number like PI, which still reasons a main issue to at the moment. You can't in reality categorical PI safely even with decimals, but that does not imply it doesn't exist! EDIT: I must add that even as PI cannot even be expressed as something instead of an approximation with decimals, you don't want decimals to express it. PI is the quantity of a circle's diameters it takes, with out overlap, to type that equal circle's circumference. See? I didn't use decimals, and that i defined it flawlessly. I just figured I must add that considering various answerers are specializing in the fact that decimals did exist, but that is particularly beside the factor.
