Any way to block spam texts like blocking a ph #?

Is there some way to block incoming texts addresses? Am I missing something? When I press on the text address, I'm not seeing a "Block" option, just the ability to Delete it.

There are a lot of phone/message blockers like the one above by SamZTB. Mr Number is probably one of the most popular. I personally use Call Blocker. You can set up White and Black lists and I just have it block all calls and texts not in my contacts list. The only thing I didn't like is that it nags you to buy it when you start or stop it. It was worth buying it to me though. Just do a search for call blockers. Many also include  a caller ID.
There are a lot, so good searching.

    Unfortunately, no, not unless you had them backed up somewhere (like with bitpim software).  Once the texts are deleted from the phone, they're gone.

  • Is there any way to see a text history from an Iphone???

    Is there any way to see a text history from an Iphone that has been synced to Itunes account???

    SMS's are not synced through iTunes. Your SMS history is stored on your phone and also included as part of your iPhone backup. To view SMS's on your computer requires either extracting them from your phone or from your iPhone backup. Either or requires third-party software, as such is not supported by Apple. clayfromherriman has given you a way to extract from your backup. To extract from your phone, you can use this:

  • Is there any way to save my text messages?

    I am having problems with the lock button on my iphone 4 not responding. I called apple and they told me to try restoring it to new, I'm wondering if there is any way to save my text messages when doing this

    No. However, you could import them to your computer using third-party software, but there is no way to restore them to your phone.

  • How to block Spam text from random number

    So, here's the story. I somehow (knowingly or unknowingly) touched & dialled a number from an adult content app and then hung up. Since that day, I keep getting text msgs from different numbers, with lewd text & asking me to call a number (constant across all these sms-es). I block the number using MyVerizon number blocking service; but in 2-3 days I get similar text, asking me to call the same number, from a different number. I keep on blocking this new number (from where the text came) and they keep on sending same text from a different number. This keep on increasing my text bill.
    Is there any way to stop this nonsense?
    If I reply to one of those texts saying "STOP", as the verizon customer care rep suggested, wouldn't that flag my number as LIVE and they'll start sending me more texts?
    How about using sms blocker apps? Again, question there is - do the sms blocker apps just delete spam msgs upon receiving and will I still incur the sms cost in my bill?
    Please advice. I'm totally frustrated about this...

    As for app I can say that anyway texts are coming to your phone...I have got Call Control installed and I even wrote to their tech support. I got an answer that it is just impossible not to direct texts to your phone. And not one app does this. Yes, you will not see them if the number is blocked, but texts will be there.
    In some situations it is even comfortable - if I block someone's number so that he or she doesn't call but still want to read texts)))

  • 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??

    Forward the texts to SPAM and follow the directions in the reply text that you receive from Verizon.
    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.

  • Is there ANY way to move a text message from archi...

    Sorry, if I haven't put this question in the right part of the forum, but I'm new in here.
    So, I accidentally moved a text message from my inbox to archive on my cell phone (nokia 7230) and I would really like to get it back. Is there any way I could do this? Any program? PC Suite perhaps? Any option on the phone? This is really important to me, please help me. Any help will be appreciated.

        ReallyMadCustomer, unwanted text messages from certain phone numbers can be a nussiance! I totally understand. The free Call and Messaging block feature was designed to block ten digit mobile numbers only. http://vz.to/MqEgqB I apologize that this feature is unable to block e-mail addresses. However, if this is a marketing text message, we recommend that you reply with the word "STOP" to remove your mobile number from that mailing list.

  • Reader SDK: any way to see what text the user has selected?

    I'm using the Adobe Reader SDK with C#, looking at the interapplication communication features.
    I can open a document in Reader and allow the user to user the reader tools like select text, etc.
    Here's the problem: I want to have my application know what text the user currently has selected.  And I'd like it to know the name of the field that the user has selected, not just the text of the field.
    Microsoft Office's Interop has something like this:
    currentDocument.GetSelectedText();
    Is there any way to do this with IAC or the javascript or plug-in features of the Reader SDK?
    If not, can it be done with the Acrobat API?  I've looked through both sets of documentation, and haven't found what i needed.
    Thanks for any help!

    To write a plug-in for the Adobe Reader you need to go through 2 separate steps.
    Step one - Download the Adobe Acrobat SDK (from here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat)
    and build your plug-in against the Acrobat product, following the documentation to make sure you only use API's that are available in the Reader program. The documentation tells you what version of the Adobe ACrobat or Reader program is needed for the function and whether the function can be called in Reader.
    Step two - Apply for a Reader certificate to allow your plug-in to be loaded by the Reader, the link is on the same web page as the above link. This step can be initiated before you have created your plug-in, and I would recommend that you do start this process before you develop your plug-in as Adobe can refuse to give you the certificate in which case all your development would be wasted.
    Only once you have permission form Adobe can you make your plug-in work with the reader application.
    Once you have done both these steps there are plenty of people on this forum that can help you with specific problems you may encounter.
    If you are not sure you have the knowledge to build the plug-in, there are plenty of people that you can hire to create the solution for you.

  • 8174 RMAN: Is there any way to backup a backupset like in 9i

    Hi All,
    Currently we are using 2 database versions for development, one
    being an Oracle 101202 database and another being a Oracle 8174 database.
    I am currently looking at implementing a backup strategy using RMAN.
    Is there any way to backup a backupset which has been created using Oracle 8174 from a flash recovery area to an external backup tape?
    If not, then to do this do we need to manually use 2 channels when backing up a Oracle 8174 database, one to a flash recovery area, and another to a external backup tape (Tivolli being used).
    I know this is not a problem with Oracle 10G databse as we can use the command
    "backup backupset all" using the 10G rman version.
    Can anyone help us in regards to this.
    Cheers
    Rodney

    Well we are not actually using RMAN currently, but are in the planning stages of implementing a RMAN backup/recovery strategy for use with 8i business databases and also 10G metadata repositories (for app server 10G).
    Currently what I am planning to do is store 8i backups using RMAN onto a network disk as well as onto a Tivolli tape storage medium. The disk backup will be kept for like 1 week at a time.
    I am also proposing to store 10G FRA onto a network drive, and then use RMAN to backup the database to tape and disk. Not sure how FRA interacts with RMAN, and will need to do more research regarding this. This can be done using the command backup backupset ....
    Note that 8i backups will be separately stored in different network drives to the 10g FRA.
    I will also use 8i RMAN for 8i databases, and 10G RMAN for 10G databases for backup/recovery.
    Both backups will be using incremental level 0 weekly backups with differential incremental level 1 backups for weekday activity. This is still to be decided on though in regards to retention periods etc.
