IPhone 4s :: IOS 6.1.3 / Receiving Messages From Blocked Number
Aug 21, 2014
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.
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.
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?
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 have been getting blocked calls and it has been getting annoying. I finally found a website that reveals the caller and it needs the pin number. But I have no idea what it is.
Iphone4s - because I use pass lock I cannot decline a call such as a blocked number. If I can't see who is calling then I don't want to answer it. But due to having my phone on lock - i can see its a blocked number but there is no option to decline. If i unlock my phone it automatically answers the call.
Every time I try to call a number (LAN LINE) that has a block on unidentified callers, I get the message "The number you are calling does not accept unidentified calls please enter your 10 digit phone number" The funny thing is that this problem just started to happen. A week ago it was fine. When I do call a number that is not blocked, my number comes up correctly on the caller ID but shows as unidentified. Sometimes, it shows up as international.Now, funny thing is that if I put my SIM in my Pearl, I can make calls no problem. There are two settings on the Bold under general options. One is called "Restrict My Identity" In this case, I have have it set to NEVER. I have also tried NETWORK DETERMINED, but neither of them make difference. The other setting is called "Show My Number" and this is set to YES.I have talked to AT&T until I am blue in the face. They say it is a problem with the phone and that it needs to be replaced. I hardly believe that. I have a friend with the same phone and it has the same problem.I did see some threads on this before in other forums, but never did see an answer to the problem.Finding a solution would be very nice.Already tried doing a factory reset and a security wipe on the phone.
Yesterday I downloaded the 'crunchSMS' app, and enabled the firewall so that my texts would be redirected to the app. After trying the app I decided I didn't like it after all and uninstalled it so that i could go back to using the normal texting function on the blackberry. However, I forget to disable the firewall until just now, and when I did so it said there have been 8 text messages blocked by the firewall. When I disabled it, these texts did not reappear. A couple of them could be important and I could do with reading them - does anyone know how I can access these blocked messages?
My Blackberry is set up to block all incoming SMS messages from unknown senders . Unfortunately when the Blackberry device blocks a text message, it reports to the sender that the message has been delivered to my phone (delivery receipt/mobile ack.) . I think this is a malfunction which blackberry should address in the next version of the software.
It says that I have 1093 blocked text messages with the Firewall security settings on, but I want to read the blocked texts. Is that possible & how? OR are they up in space by now??
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.
I receive some messages from some people but have had a few friends tell me they have sent me messages yet I am not receiving them. One friend even said when she sends me messages for some reason my e-mail shows up in the "to" field, but not my mobile number. When she starts a new message and uses my mobile number I do not receive it. I've tried clearing network settings, deleting messages and turning my phone off. Nothing seems to be working. Any thoughts?
Since wednesday (April 25th) i'm not receiving SMS messages from my girlfriend only. I've tried to delete the SMS (all the 3668 messages), but the problem persist..
My wife's HTC One doesn't seem to be sending text messages to her friend's iPhone 5. Both phones are with AT&T and I can confirm the friend has tried imessage on and off to no avail. My wife can text other iPhone's fine, but this particular one won't receive them.
I have an iphone 4s with th iOS 5.1.1 and, from a moment to another, I stoped receiving text messages! I send mine and my friends receive them, but I am not receiving theirs. I know it is not from the operator I am using (vodafone), because I just bought the iphone 4s some days ago and, until there, I was receiving messages perfectly.
For some reason, although I can successfully send messages using iMessage using my iPhone, and these are successfully replicated to all my other iOS devices, I do not seem to receive iMessage messages on my iPhone. I do get my SMS messages, but not my iMessage ones.
how to sort problems with sending/receiving picture messages on the iphone 4S? I've gone through all the re-setting etc at the place I bought it and it still doesn't work!! Spoken to 02 and they said it's an issue with Apple software?
I have an IPad2 and IPhone 4S running the latest OS 5.1. I was texting with a 3rd party on my IPhone and was recieving responses back (all blue - not SMS). I was expecting a response on my iphone and did not recieve it in a timely manner but when I looked at my IPad the response was there. I waited around 5 minutes and still nothing. Then i dropped out of iMessage on my IPhone and started it back up and then I saw the text pop up.
I have an iPhone 4s and never had any problems but last night my iPhone stopped receiving text messages (from other iPhone users and other phone types). I messed around with my settings and my text messages started appearing again (although I can't remember what I pressed now)! I got a few people to send test text messages and I received these but again this evening I've stopped receiving text messages again.
I am having troubles receiving any green texts. My imessage activation comes on and off.When I do send as a green text it goes through and says that my mailbox is full,person im sending to recieves my message but I dont get anything back and I also have deleted some messages and still doesnt work.
i have not been receiving all text message for 3 days now. yet my network provider is saying there is nothing wrong with my phone as i could receive their test messages they sent to my phone. I have had a replacement sim card and network reset. I am having the same problem with several people, of who i receive some text messaes from them, but not all.
