2 months ago I received a text spam about a horoscope service, which I ignored because it was clearly a scam.Then I found out they were charging me $9.99/month, and I had to spend 30 minutes on the phone with AT&T to get the charges removed. How can spammers charge you when you haven't responded to their text? This is a huge annoyance and waste of my time. I am considering removing the texting function from my iphone.
I have a iphone 4s and after i got it about 3 days later i started being pestered with spam calls, texts and voicemails i dont know what to do as its getting a bit of an irratent. I've never given my details away and on the text messages im being called by different names as if somone signed my number up to places under false names? but i wanna know how to stop, im being called in lessons which then leads to a voicemail and text so anyway to stop this? (numbers seem to be different and it happens around 5-15 times a day)
Hi, I am getting spam text messages and I am sure that whilst reading through discussions previously there is a number which you can forward the text to depending on what network you are with. Is this correct and if so, does anybody know the number for Vodafone?
There has been an upsurge in complaints on the AT&T Community forum about spam texts from 1410100001. Some have said they will block that number and then get spam texts from 1410100002, and then 3, etc.
Most of these texts come overnight and those who don't have their phone on silent are awakened by the spam. I discovered on my LG G3 that by going into the menu on the native messaging app and finding the number I blocked as spam, there is a label "same as". If I click on that label, it offers several choices, one of which is "starts with". So rather than block individual numbers, I can block all numbers that start with 1410100. I'm sure this will work, although I'm not going to spend time testing it out.
Wife's phone, HTC One, does not seem to have this blocking option, although she has been spared from receiving the spam texts.
New spam emails being received on samsung s5 are disabling the ability to tag them as spam. This only leaves pressing unsubscribe which could be risky or delete. Meaning there is no way to stop future emails.
I was wondering if it would be a problem if I'm at a different location other than my billing address for my Debit Card. Is it alright if I had it shipped elsewhere?
I have tried AT&T website and it will not let me preorder since the billing is a PO Box and doesn't give me the option to change shipping. Unable to get through Apple store yet, so I don't know if it is a problem there as well.
I want to input billing information for my credit card, so I can purchase apps, but the system does not seem to offer countries out of the US. I live in Costa Rica. How do I do I change country?
I've never gotten a spam TXT in the 2yrs owning an iPhone. Today I got my first one from some place telling me if I owe more than $10k to the IRS to contact them blah blah.
Trying to think of who I gave my # out to in the past week. ATT has my info but I highly doubt they would do anything but then again is this TXT coming from an email?
I just went to ATT blocking options and clicked block to all 3 options listed anyone else getting SPAM SMSs since owning the i4. Just wondering where they got my info better not be ATT.
My iPhone won't let me send texts to someone who used to have an iPhone but doesn't anymore. I can receive texts from them but can't send them texts. Says its an invalid number.
I've just received a spam sms by this unknown number +1 (347) 522-0616: "Apple is looking for people to Test & Keep the New iPad 3! (...)" Is there a way to block the number?
I am getting more and more spam-type messages on my iphone 4s. You've won a WalMart gift card, Do you need extra money?, things like that. Isn't there some kind of spam filter or malware proctection I can use?
Is there any way to mark email for my iCloud account as spam on my iPhone? I'm running iOS 5.1.1. It's extremely frustrating to receive spam email on my iPhone and have no way of reporting it. The iCloud WWW page will not allow you to log in from an iPhone and instead tells you to use the built-in Mail app. The Mail app will not allow me to mark spam. Since I have my iPhone set to display HTML images in email I have to be exceedingly careful not to open any spam messages until I can get to a desktop computer to log into iCloud. Sometimes, I don't have access to a desktop for multiple days at a time, which means I can't mark the email as spam for days and have to tiptoe around it. I can't tap the delete button at the bottom of an email, because it might move me to the spam message, which means I'll trip the webbug and I'm hosed. I thought that the new push was to be desktop-free as much as possible? Yes, I could just delete it, but that doesn't help to train the spam filters.Why is there no way, at all, of doing this on an iPhone? It's 5 years old already. Am I the only person in the world that receives spam on their iPhone?
I have recieved 2 spam e-mails in my gmail account. I deleted them imediatelly, including them in the trash.
But for my surprise, they are now in my calendar, and I cannot delete them. They are in a grey color, circulated by dots and are impossible to edit and delete.
