what about the other direction, you sending to her?

what happens if she sends by using an sms gateway or via computer
(i.e., *not* originating from her phone)?

are both phones paired with the same vehicle? if so, un-pair one and
test, or better yet, unpair both phones and test as you re-pair each
one. if possible, reset the vehicle's bluetooth completely (unpairing
*everything*) and then re-pair.
