  2. Save the contact details in your device address book with proper formats

  4. Remove any leading zero or special calling codes.
  5. Ensure you accept the GoChat contact permission request (or go to your device settings and enable it)
  6. If your device address book allows, ensure that all accounts and groups are set to "visible" or "viewable".

Blocking Contacts:

Blocking contacts will prevent you from receiving calls or messages from them:

  1. Blocking Contacts: go to Profile -> Settings -> Account ->Privacy
  2. To un-block, follow the same flow and select the contact to un-block

Note: A blocked contact will still show in your address book.

If you have a bad internet connection, you will not receive GoChat messages

In addition, if you still have issues, check the following:

  1. The contact you are messaging has not blocked your number.
