LG G3 :: Blocking Spam Texts From Sequential Numbers
Dec 11, 2015
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.
I have a Bold 9900 and am constantly receiving spam email (i.e. purchase Viagara etc.). How do you change your settings or setup a rule to block these unwanted messages? I know how to do this with my Hotmail account but can't find any instructions in this regard for the BlackBerry.
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?
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.
is there any way off blocking certain incoming numbers or groups on X3-02 i get a lot of unnecessary people ringing me i have looked but cant seem to find any way of doing this?
Is there an app you can get to block numbers? But still be aware that they are text/ringing you? I don't want to have to ring up my phone provider to do this as they may only be a occasional caller. I used to have an app like this on my sony ericcson xperia! Surely apple have one?
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)
I've tried the 'blacklist' option but it seems that people can find out that I've blacklisted them. Is there a more discreeet way where they can't find out?
So a buddy of mine included me in a group text and now I'm getting never ending texts from people I don't know. I told my friend to remove me, but I'm still getting them. I also unchecked the option in MMS for group conversations, but still getting them.
I just got my Galaxy S5 and love it. I know you can add numbers to a reject list so when they call it takes them to your voicemail and you get no notification that even called. Is there a way to add those numbers to a reject list so when they text you get no notification as well, or am I stuck with receiving their texts still? I know there's other apps that block texts, but from all the ones I've tried the screen still lights up when the blocked messages come in, and the one that didn't like up I did not like at all.
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.
Once I make a 3 way call and hit "end last call" I can't redial or make another 3 way call without hanging up and doing it again. This is a major flaw. It allows me to hang the other call up but I can't retry them if I get voicemail or phone is busy.
I keep getting messages from numbers that aren't even real phone numbers. They start with 9 and are 7 digits long (no area code). I get a few a day, usually at night. They look something like this:
"<Hotmail> http://m.mail.live.com <Reply M for more>"
Any help? I've had this problem with all my blackberrys so I'd imagine it's something with my SIM card (I am with the Rogers network)
When I have these two numbers listed in my address book, I am unable to send texts to them. Only once I remove them from the address book can I send them an SMS. What is wrong?
Has anybody else noticed that the Razr Maxx wont separate the texts into multiple texts if you go over 160? I didnt notice it until I did it the other night, and got a sending error. I could have sworn in the past there was an option for this.
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 haqve just moved to Tenerife and got a movistar sim. I can receive calls and texts but cant send texts. I have tried to resend the service books but it wont allow me saying "your device had a problem connecting to the server". When i try send a text it says "requested facility not implented". What do I do?
my phone has stopped receiving text messages until hours later. If im in the messaging app, i tap on a new text ill reply and it wont show that i replied. I then wont receive messages until hours later when I guess it finally has sent? Also, in my messaging its showing messages from years ago. I dont want my texts to save or to be backed up or restored.
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.
