BB Curve :: 8520 - Receiving Spam Text Messages From Unknown Number
Dec 29, 2011
Every once in a while I would get one SMS message from an unknown number which was spam. Today, for the last 4-5 hrs, I've been receiving numerous spam SMS msgs from 2 area codes in the Atlanta, GA area that are 3 different mobile numbers, and some of which are from the same repeating mobile number. Is there a way to block any spam text messages? I've just been deleting them, but didn't know if you can filter or block SMS msgs like you can with emails. I have a Blackberry Curve 8520 through AT&T
I keep on receiving an empty text message or a text message with different characters (examples are the following: @PF, #, Q"_$ ...) from an unknown number. This happens every time I send a text message to anyone on my contact list. The unknown number keeps on getting longer with every text message I send. What should I do to make it stop?
I keep getting texts from the following number 07800002015 it appears that this number is replacing the number the text was actually sent from. I am using vodaphone business account, anything i can do to stop this?
i'm receiving the same message from this PIN 2A3E972B since this morning. The message is the same always and I have received it like 5,000 times!!! This is smartphone virus?
first time I have had a Blackberry! My Blackberry Curve 8520 shows my mobile number as "unknown". I changed the mobile number that was originally given to me by Vodafone and when my phone arrived the sim was stuck on the outside of the package.How do I get my phone to show the number that is on my inserted sim card.
what happens with text/sms messages when your blackberry is stolen but you keep the same number.So, for example, my blackberry was stolen last week and I am due to receive a new one this week that will have the same phone number. If people have texted/sms'd me on that number during the week I had no phone, will I receive the texts messages? I imagine not since it will be a different Sim Card.
I am not receiving text messages in 9300 curve but when I insert sim in another device other than blackberry then I start receiving the text messages....
Since midday yesterday I have been able to send SMS (and recipient is receiving them) however I can not receive anyones SMS to me. I have updated the Blackberry software and have rebooted several times since.
My Blackberry curve 9360 is new but not and then SMS text messages wont come through now they've just stopped al together. Ive checked the firewall and thats not on so they should be coming through. I can send texts but i cant receive them.
I keep receiving messages from a sender, Alice Rewe, on peer-to-peer. I don't know the sender and it sends me with links for some NEWS UPDATES or BREAKING NEWS onww.ipaidabribrenaija.com. How do I stop receiving messages from this unknown source??
I wonder if there is a way to increase the number of characters in a text message. I'm sick of the words "field full" when I just want to finish a bloody sentence!
My Curve suddenly stopped receiving text messages and it shows I have email messages, however, I am unable to access them. I also have lost the ability to send text messages and emails, as well.Tried removing the battery and resetting that way, and have also done a soft reboot per AT&T's instructions.AT&T has also reset my registration (or something like that) and have verified that nothing in my service plan has changed.
I havent had my blackberry curve too long but as of yesterday it wont alert me to text messages anymore. i had set it to chime and vibrate before, which it did. but now the only indicatior i have is the little red light. iv checked all the obvious thing in settings but nothing works now please someone tell me how to fix this, its pretty pointless if you dont know when you have a message!
my phone is approx 2 years old and a few months ago developed a glitch in that it shows the number of the text messages I have, and the number is increasing despite the fact that I have deleted all texts from the phone. I noticed that when I switch the phone on after a period off, it adds new messages and shows them as "new" (with that sparkly sign at the corner of it). I wonder whether there is a way of deleting this misleading icon from the home-screen?
Since this morning my BB Curve 8520 has been displaying GSM. I have tried turning it on and off again and manually searching for networks but it still says GSM. I am not receiving important texts and emails because of it.
I have recently had to block a number. I am continuing to receive messages from this number. I have the number blocked with Verizon and turned off iMessage, but it's not working.
Does anybody know if the bb 8520 is capable of allowing the user to create a signature for text messages? I looked through the book and didn't find anything about, so Im wondering if there is a way to do this??
hello, I just upgraded my phone to the .732. Everything went smoothly during the upgrade, ever since then I have been having trouble with receiving text messages and MMS messages. I have gone to 3 sites for free ringtones have sent the ring tones to my phone, I have not received anything. I also have setup google voice and I am not getting any text messages from people tht text my google voice number.
Is there a way to restrict the number of text messages you can receive in a day from one person? There's someone I work with, I sent a text to them about something they did, and then I got bombarded by over 20 text messages which froze my messaging (on another phone, I just got an iPhone 4s). I can't totally end my relationship with this person, as they are good at their job. I just want to avoid another text message assault if possible.
iv looked on all the help pages but cany seem to find what this item is, it appeard last night after trying to send a message, it looks like a red clock on a white background does this mean message watiing? as i dont seem to beable to send any out but im reciving fine should i contact my network?
When I do a soft reset my phone will text me with my own number. I will have two contacts in a text thread. When they reply to a text after the reboot I will get a response with my phone number listed instead of just the two contacts. When I respond to the text I text myself.
When a call is coming in, I can`t see how the person or the number is that`s calling me even if I have the persons contact number on my BB? It only shows Unknown Number every time some one calls me. But when I call someone it shows the number or the contact.
Friends Bb 8330 is downloading junk mail as well as mail from the inbox that is being sent to her phone. How do you tell it to only d/l from the inbox? It is running OS 5 on boost mobile.
I tried to download photos/contact details for the first time on my pc I downloaded the software off the Blackberry website and everything went swimmingly until it asked for a password. I have no idea what it is must have set one up in the shop or I perhaps did it when I first had the phone anyway I cat remember it and it is imperative that I do not lose the photos and contacts that I have must have had he phone for over a year. The phone is now asking for a password in letters -this is different to my usual 4 number access code.
I just got a BB 8520 CURVE.i had pals ask me if i got their text messsages but i never did.in fact,i have never got a text since i began using this 8520.
