Temporary Blocking of Texts and Messages

I used to be able to temporarily block texts and messages from my iphone. I went to block a number today and now I get the description of the service with the ending "Not available for this cell phone number". There is a blue question mark at the end. However, when I click on it a balloon comes up that is transparent showing the type already on the page. What gives?

    Hey NJMJMB! I get calls & messages from folks that I'd rather not speak with from time to time as well. Although I'm not familiar with the feature you're referring to, you can still set up restrictions against unwanted calls & messages through My Verizon! Here are details regarding that free feature: http://vz.to/MqEgqB

  • Navigation block shows text and key

    Hello everybody!
    Happy new year for all.
    I have a problem with the web navigation block. I have setup that only the text is shown. If I use the attribute in the report or in the navigation block I see the text only (that is what I need). Now I will choose some attributes and I click in the navigation block on the attribute. A new window opens and in this window I see the text and the key but I don't need the key in the popup I only need the text. Any solutions?
    Example (cars):
    Ford               A
    Opel               B
    VW                C
    Honda            D
    Regards,
    T. Franke

    Hi,
    that is my problem. I have an hierarchy added to the attribute.
    BEx Query -> Attribute -> View as = Text -> Hierarchy has no view as settings.
    Any other ideas.
    Regards,

  • Alerts for text and messages are gone now after update. iphone 3gs

    My iphone 3gs has stopped all alert sounds except alarms.I have tried turning them all off and turning phone off and going back in and resetting the sounds. but nothing. does anyone have an idea. and oh yes the volume is on high.

    Okay. If you have turned the phone off and on, then the next troubleshooting step is a reset. That is accomplished by holding the sleep and home buttons down together until you see the Apple logo, then release. This resets the phone and does not affect your data in any way. If this is not successful, the next step is a restore. This step can affect your data, so you need to ensure you have everything saved. Contact and calendar data is synced to a supported application on the computer, photos are all imported to the computer and music and apps purchases are all synced to iTunes. The restore is done with iTunes, first attempt is a restore from a backup, the next is to restore as a new phone. The restore as a new phone will delete all photos in the camera roll, all saved SMS messages and will delete any saved app data.

  • Is there a way to block unsolicited calls and messages in iPhone5?

    Hello to all. Guess my title to this post is enough for me to get an answer from learned members of this august forum! Thanks inadvance!

    Thanks Rojmer for joining this thread. Your answer seems to be an attractive solution to the problem I am facing but I am a novice in these matters and would love some clarifications:
    Rojmer wrote:
      Every time I get one of these calls I immediately add the number to one of the contacts in my contacts app under the name Telemarketing 1, Telemarketing 2, etc.  I have about eight numbers in each contact item. 
    I was just about to ask you how you could squeeze in 8 numbers in each contact, but proceeded to check it out myself and learnt that you can put in more than even 10 numbers under each contact! I guess that I can put in many more numbers too!
    My next question is related to how you could create a silent ringtone?
    [Then I created a silent ringtone with one of the ringtone creators in the AppStore (iTunes also sell them) and assigned the silent ringtone to those contacts items. ]
    Could you walk me through this process? FYI, I have found this free app and have downloaded it onto my iMac:
    How can I create a 'silent' audio file to drop it into the required space provided?

  • How do I get rid of the letter p that moves around to the end of blocks of text and if you click it shows a box that allows you to publish?

    It's a grey-ed lower case p that moves with the cursor to the end of paragraphs or stand alone sentences, ie doesn't move word by word or letter by letter. If I click it I get a box the at the top has OP RTV US and at the bottom of the box the word PRINT and the option to share.

    You mean press C+p? That just brings up the PRINT box

  • How can I access copy and paste history in iphone 4, absent some app, if I have copied another block of text before pasting the first?

    Is there ANY way to access the copy/paste history in iphone4 without an app? I have the latest verdsion of ios, and I'm using an iPhone 4... The issue arose when I copied a large, VERY large block of text, and then another before I pasted the huge one that took forever to hammer out and was unsaved by any other method, and now I really need it all back!!! Please help! Is there no "clipboard" or similar tool that remembers copied text history for a while, or am I SOL on this one? I can tell you this, as important as the lost words are to me, I don't think I could summon the energy or creativity to repeat it, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and possibly rewarded with cupcakes and affectionate (albeit digital) hugs. Thanks in advance!

    I'm currently using Linux Fedora system.
    Doesn't matter. There's no standard way for D&D on Linux, no single API.
    Every application has its own mechanism which may or may not be compatible with any other.
    Gnome and KDE groups are doing some work to provide a common standard but as you know the Linux zealots are completely opposed to anyone telling them what to do (such as creating standards) and won't in general follow them.

  • Regarding blocking of unwanted calls and messages

    how do i block unwanted calls and messages on my nokia asha 210..is there any utility available to do so??

    Hi tangra,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
    As what plepleple posted, this feature is not supported by the phone. We also checked that no application can be downloaded that has this feature.

  • Can I suspend texting and calls on my daughter's phone except for account members?

    I'd like to put my daughter's phone out of action except for other family members on our account.  That way she can't use the phone to distract herself from homework, etc. but she can still reach the family members on our account if she must due to emergency, etc.  Can this be done?  Thansk!

        @Mawgui,
    I can totally understand you wanting to keep your daughter's usage under control so she can concentrate on her homework!
    With Verizon Safeguard and Control http://vz.to/18e1VIs you can restrict the device to certain function, set limits, time restrictions, and add trusted contacts. From what I understand you only want the phone to be able to make and receive calls from certain numbers. You can block all calls and messages or set time restrictions on her line and then add trusted contacts to her line http://vz.to/19XzGck. You can maintain up to 20 contacts that can always be reached, regardless of other Verizon FamilyBase Control restrictions.
    I'm sure this will help!

    On previous iPhones you could go to settings and block the the actual text message from pooping up. Only the sender would show up. On the i4gs the sender and message show up. This is a major flaw as far as privacy. There are no options with in settings to stop this from happening. PLEASE TELL ME IM WRONG ???

    YOU ARE WRONG.
    Go to Settings > Notifications > Messages. You can turn Notifcation Center off for Messages, or select None for the alert style, and turn Show Preview off, and view in Lock Screen on or off.

  • How can I block spam text messages from an email address?

    Twice per week I am getting spam texts in the middle of the night from a random email address, in reference to a free Target gift card. The problem is, the sender's email address is different every time. Any ideas how to make it stop??

    Or log into your on-line MyVerizon account, click on the blue More Actions under I Want To, under Safety and Security, click on the blue Block Internet Spam.  Enter the e-mail addresses, or go to the bottom and check block all.  Click the red Apply.
    That was one of the first things I did when starting my current account with Verizon Wireless. I blocked all premium messages and messages from the Internet. Those blocks are still in place to this day.

    Can you block a text message sender?

    Not from the phone itself. Contact your carrier. In the U.S., all the major carriers offer some type of blocking for calls and text.
