Spam SMS.

I received SMS spam on once or twice a week for the past few weeks. Most of the text is gibberish - various numbers, symbols, etc.-, but the subject line is always something similar to "I want a new friend of f #ck." (the sign # is in the message; I use it to replace a letter, the message is received like that.)

The phone # texts came to (supposedly) is always a 6-digit phone #, preceded by a 1 and a 3-digit code; I guess this is supposed to be an area code is a total of 11 digits.

Has anyone who has received these? Is it possible to block? I looked in preferences, but it seems the only way to block a # is text to choose from your list of contacts. I don't want to add these spam #s to my contacts, so I can't find a way to block them.

Suggestions?

Thank you.

You can block the number of the Messages app. When you get a message from spammer, open the conversation. Click details in the upper right. Press the "i" in a blue circle to the right. Down at the bottom of the screen, you will see 'block this caller '. Once the number is blocked, you can delete the message.

The two largest carriers in the United States, the version and the AT & T will let you forward a text of 'SPAM' (7726). They will take all the necessary measures.

  • Skype is spamming my phone with sms

    HI, I have a contact who sent me a sms as 24 hours ago, and Skype is continuously spamming my phone with the same message. 43 counted up to now.

    You * beep * ing nuts?!!?!

    Is this a joke?

    Thanks Elaine for the effort and the time you took to answer, but I finally found a fix. I connected to Skype on my side, and once the electronic have been read in Skype, they stopped being sent to my phone. I'm guessing there is a timing issue with Skype and the sms service on the confirmation that the sms was sent successfully. The sender of the SMS has been charged only with the two original messages and not for copies.

    Long story short, if anyone has this problem once again, it's nothing to worry about (apart from the incredible annoyance of spam). Sign in to Skype, and they will disappear. I just hope that this does not occur for people who receive the sms but do not have a Skype account that the sender attached the slide box number to.

Contact your carrier customer support for information about how to unsubscribe.

  • question of spam iMessage

    I created an email unique iCloud for my new iPhone SE. I've never used this email address anywhere except iTunes and the App Store installation. I use Apple Mail on my iPhone to retrieve the email for the account and never get any email to this account because I don't use it actively with the exception of the registration of Apple.

    Thank you

    Messages of spam of all kinds are sent to hundreds of thousands of all the days of phones. Spammers don't care even if it is a valid number. Messages eventually went to a hundred random numbers at a time. Your number just happened to be one of these random numbers. Just delete the message and never interact with these spam messages.

  • Audible alert options for SMS messages

    Why is it after all the releases of the webos you can't always choose different sounds for incoming SMS messages?  The sound of an incoming message is also identical to an incoming message.  I submitted an application for this feature with justification several months back and still no change.  They have a high priority for change the clock police but not the sound alert for SMS single and adjustable?

    The problem here is that I am a COMPUTER professional who is oncall 24 x 7.  I use SMS messages to inform me of any databases and server problem that must be solved immediately.  With the PRE, the sound is so light that I never hear it while I SLEEP.  The alert is too soft, too quiet, too short and sound identical to spam entering the phone.  I need an alert that will make noise.  I've owned three other phones palm I used for this same purpose and never had a problem before.  They were the Treo 300 600 and 700.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  Or people buy this phone as a gadget and not care about audible alerts SMS?  I think that people in the I / T field are the main users of this device and it would be a major difficulty.  I might have to empty this phone just for the next short if it isn't fixed soon or I might do a bad evaluation at work ( ).

    PALM, help out me here!

    If you open the messaging application, in the menu drop down go to preferences & accounts. There is 'Sound' by default its alarm system. You can change into a ringtone to choose from all your ringtones, you can add any mp3 to ringtone PRE list which allows them to select what you want. This does not change your ringtone for calls, which remains the same.

    The email app, you can only use the default tone he has. Or you can turn it off, set to vibrate. These options are in the accounts section & Pref in the email app, click on the email account and they are raised.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Spam Driving me Nuts!

    I did everything what I found or which as suggested.  However, my device message box is full every day. I even made "unsubscribe" think on tons of sites. I reset to high on the PC.   No matter what?

    That has me thinking: when I was sitting the 8310 I obviously set up my main email.  I also have a Blackberyy.Net email account.  Do I still need this?  I myself remember well it was suggested in the installation program.  Spam comes through BB?  I always have full access to sms, etc. If I remove the email from BB?

    I am looking for

    Good as far as why bring you on the bb but is hot on the PC, because you have not configured the option in the account of readruner leave a copy of message on the server. This means that if your PC is in sleep mode, and that your BB is enabled, the BB will get the message and the Roarunner server then removes the message from the server. When you turn on your PC, the messages are not on the server, if you do not get them there. If you want to you emails on the PC as well as the BB go for roadruner e-mail account and find the option t leave messages on the server.

    With regard to the problem of spam. Set up a new Roaddrunner account, you can never get rid of the spam as it is now associated with the account. You will be able to import your contacts on between accounts and all your old emails. Roadrunner will also send an email to your list of contacts, telling them of your new email address and held the old account open and reach you anyone using the old address. I think it's the best way to stop spam on your account.

    The message queue is configured to get all messages. Those you see in the Roadrunner email icon is the same as those in your queue of messages, is easier to use the queue of messages. Can you read and delete from there,

    emails are deleted from the icon as well. And once you reduce the spam you will have less traffic to deal with.

    Please let me know your thoughts!

    Thank you

    P. S. One last point, you may know that, so I apologize if you do. Set up a Gmail account, yahoo account when I need give an email address on a site (Amazon for example) then the spam is sent to her and not to your main account. Don't use your roadrunner account when dealing with contact and trusted sites.

    I understand that this could be a problem of carrier, but I wanted to tender hand to see if anyone has the same problem.

    When I switch to the iPhone 7 more, I stopped to receive SMS over Wi - Fi.  I can send and receive the iMessage and I can send SMS on Wi - Fi, but I can't receive.  I am currently on AT & T.

    If I remove the SIM card from my phone and put it in 6 seconds of my wife, she also has the problem.  But with the SIM of my wife in her phone, it works very well.  Any ideas?  Can anyone else with AT & T test this?  (Turn on airplane mode and send an SMS over Wi - Fi and AT & T Wi - Fi.)

    If the question "follows" the SIM card, it seems to be a problem with AT & T.

    You mark the emails as being not junk?

    If the emails are not grey/navy/red, then your email provider may have marked them as spam, which would explain why the not junk option is not there. Try to go to the e-mail provider's website to see if you can adjust the junk e-mail settings there.

  • Siri are not sent by SMS in iMessage (OS Sierra)

    This seems to be a strange problem that I can not find a solution. My Macbook is connected to my iPhone SE. They all run the two most recent software updates.

    When I manually type my messages (in iMessage) on my Macbook to a non - iOS user, everything works perfectly (message sent is green). The problem is Siri. When I use Siri orders to send text messages to a user non - iOS (on my Macbook), she will not send SMS, only iMessage (blue). This causes the red exclamation point saying that the message send failed. If I click on "try again" on this error, the message (green now) sends very well.
    On my iPhone, text messages transfer is set up and send as SMS is turned on.

    So, how can I me Siri to use SMS and send text messages to my contacts non - iOS without having to press 'try again' on each message? Note that this command works fine on my iPhone.

    When you type a message what receiver do you use?

    When you use Siri one used?

  • My account is spam and I can't stop it!

    For nearly two months now my account has sent hundreds of emails from spam to known contacts and also unknown email addresses.

    I contacted my domain name provider (nominalia.es) and they advised me to do a few things:

    1 change my password by e-mail, as well as the outgoing smtp password (done.  Twice.)

    2. install an antivirus.  (I have Avast Mac Security.  No viruses or other problems found),

    3. remove my email address of my site.  (Fact).

    Despite having followed all the advice, the problem continues as before.

    It's so boring that I am a user in a company and I'm spamming all my clients and friends and family.  I need to make that judgment.   I thought to give up my domain name and walk away with a new, but as an established business for a long time, that I really want to change my address web and e-mail, unless absolutely necessary.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    (I wanted to put that in a community of mail, but fails.  Please move my message if there is a better place for this).

    First of all, I would like to better understand the situation.

    Are the emails sent in bulk, or are they sent periodically to the various emails at different times?

    If you have a different e-mail Client, I would say you switch to that and see if the problem persists.
