5 digits sounds like a "short code" to me. Are you on the right network that it recognises the number ?

check with your network provider - I'm with O2 and mine does.

under your contract type you may not be able to text a premium site!

Are you on Pay As You Go (maybe you don't have enough credit for what could be an expensive premium rate number)?

My PAYG phone, with Vodafone, has no problems sending texts to 'short codes' (as those 5 digit numbers are known). Perhaps, at some point now long forgotten, you went online and ticked an option to block short codes?
