Automated message about enhanced or premium texts

I have the Family Share 1400 plan with unlimited texting.  I have blocked, through MyVerizon any type of messaging, web access or anything which would incur a charge.  This includes premium messaging, sms (whatever that is), enhanced messaging and the like.  I routinely text both of my daughters.  One of them is a verizon customer and one is not.  Lately, at random times, and certainly not every time, I receive what I suppose is an automated text message from Verizon which says (I just deleted my inbox this morning, so I will try to paraphrase, since I do not remember it verbatim) that text messages such as (the one I just sent) cannot be received by the number I sent it to.  This happens almost immediately after sending and although it seems to take a little longer for a response, it does get received.  This morning it happened when my daughter (verizon) and I were having a conversation via text.  Plain text messages, no pictures or anything else.  We had already exchanged 8 or 10 messages, when suddenly I received a reply very quickly after pushing send.  She is fast, but not that fast and sure enough it was that message again.  Then maybe 5 or 10 minutes later, I received the expected normal response from her.  I do not know what, if anything, she sees on her end of the conversation that is out of the ordinary. 
Any ideas what this might mean?

The link payroll provided will very likely do the trick.

  • "Premium Messaging" (aka "Premium Text Messaging) - Blocking 3rd Parties from Generating and Opting Out

    <Duplicate post and will be locked. Please see any replies at How can I block text msgs?.>
    NOTE: THIS MESSAGE IS INTENDED AS INFORMATION SHARING
    Here is what I've recently learned (the hard way) about "Premium Messaging"/”Premium Text Messaging” charges of $9.99 that show up in the "Usage Charges" section of your monthly bill under Data (taken from an email from a Verizon Wireless Customer Service Rep):
    "...Premium Text Messages are services offered by third party content providers. They can offer many different things such as: weather or news alerts, sports score alerts, horoscopes, jokes, and even traffic reports. They can also provide entertainment services such as: games, trivia, chat services, free ring tones, or as a part of social media for services provided through Facebook or other sites. You may also be familiar with television or radio programs that have you vote for your favorite artist by sending a text message to a short five or six digit code. Sending a text to those codes is how you get signed up for these services.
    In order to remove it, you simply send a text message from that specific phone to that short code. (34135) In the body of the text, simply write the word Stop. Finally go ahead and send the message. Within a few minutes, you should receive a text back from that company stating that you have cancelled out of their subscription service.
    ...I recommend sending this text as soon as possible to avoid future charges. Judging by the date you supplied, they appear to charge on the 6th of every month."
    What this boils down to is that Verizon is complicit in allowing 3rd parties to occur extra charges via their monthly billing, despite the fact that you may have not realized the text was an "opt out" type. If you read the texts that come in English, the method of opting out is specified, which in my case was replying to the text with just the word STOP – I was thereby opted out, BUT FOR JUST THAT SPECIFIC 3RD PARTY. You should then (IMMEDIATELY) call Verizon customer service at 1-800-922-0204 and request that “Premium Messaging” be blocked.
    I believe you can also do this yourself at:
    https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/accountholder/uc/UCServiceBlocks.action
    You can also read about this subject at:
    http://support.verizonwireless.com/faqs/Premium_TXT_and_MMS/faq_premium_txt_and_mms.html - pay special attention to item #4.
    For those who say “you should have read your contract more clearly in the 1st place”: my father had died not long before I signed up with Verizon, and I was still in a fog, not really capable of absorbing a lot of information.  I don’t remember reading the first such msg I got; I might have even deleted it before reading it completely because at 1st glance you can tell it's a solicitation. What that very brief, 1st glance doesn't scream out at you is the fact that this is something you must reply to opt out of.

    I called customer service from my phone to get this taken care of, and everything went great. 
    If anyone else has the same problems, just know that I got this resolved immediately.  I put the block on premium messaging last night, and this morning I saw a Verizon Support tweet about this same issue that recommended forwarding the spam message to 7726.  I did that and followed some instructions that were replied back to me.  Then I went ahead and called customer service, told them the problem, and they issued a credit right away.  I just checked and it went into effect immediately.
    Like I said, if anyone else has this problem, these steps resolved it perfectly for me.  Good job, Verizon.

  • Messages has replaced all my text with a load of letter A's in boxes. What is that all about. When I type a new one it is fine until I hit enter then the same thing applies. Has anyone a fix for this?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
              File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • Enhancing all standard texts to accept HTML format message

    Hello every one,
    Please help me with your inputs in my requirement.
    The user basically requires enhancing all standard texts to accept HTML format message being sent to recipients.
    Can you please let me know how can this be achieved?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Jayant Sahu.

    OK, I figured it out. Here's the silly key item:
    You must have a dynamic text field with embedded fonts in
    every font you might use with the html tags!
    Who would've thought. I added additional fields to my file
    (off the stage) with "foo" set to verdana bold, verdana italic, and
    verdana bold italic and embedded Basic Latin. Now it works.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Ability to block individual premium text messages

    I am receiving spam in the form of premium text messages from 33555.  My only option appears to be blocking receipt of all premium messages, which will not work for me.  I would like the ability to block individual premium text numbers.

    You will need to send a Text message with one of the opt-out keywords below to the code that the message is coming from which you stated (33555). This will stop future billing for the Premium Messaging. However, charges for Premium Messaging may appear on the your bill for up to two full bill cycles after the Premium Messaging block has been added to the account. This is due to timing of the bill cycle and the premium service subscription opt-in date.
    Quit,
    Cancel,
    End,
    Unsubscribe ,
    Stop,
    Stop All
     If opt-out confirmation not received meaning if you did not get a text right back stated the premium message has been stopped , then that's when we will have to go in and add the premium messaging block to stop you from receiving the alert and charge any further. Hope this Helps

  • How do I get rid of the automated message after my outgoing voicemail?

    Hey Everyone,
    I have a 16GB iPhone 3G, and I recently I contacted AT&T regarding problems I was having with the recently deployed Free Wi-Fi service at AT&T hotspots. The problem was resolved, but in the process AT&T reset my voicemail account. Since then, every time someone calls me, they hear my custom outgoing voicemail message, followed by the dreaded automated message, "At the tone, please record your message. When you are finished recording, you may hang up or press 1 for more options." One of my favorite things about the iPhone's visual voicemail was that it cut through all this type of excess! In an effort to resolve this (it was never like the before and I know I don't get the automated message when I call my friends who have iPhones), I called Apple Tech Support. They told me there to call the number 1-800-331-0500, and simply reset my pass code, and that this would fix it. Feeling relieved, I followed their instructions, but to no avail. I called AT&T and was told that "This is a new feature that AT&T has added to their voicemail service" and that "Anyone who has their voicemail reset would now have this new feature added to their voicemail." I was told there is no way to disable it! Is this in fact the case? Am I now stuck with this new "feature"? If anyone knows how to get rid of this, please let me know! If anyone from Apple is reading this, can you PLEASE see if anything can be done about removing this extremely annoying "feature" from iPhone voicemail? Thanks very much!
    David

    Hi David,
    On your iPhone, when you press Phone> Voicemail, does it Call standard voicemail or show Visual Voicemail?
    It sounds like this issue would be resolved by contacting AT&T again.

    Can anyone help me? The iTunes update corrupted my program. I uninstalled, and then reinstalled iTunes; only to find an error message about iTunes Helper. After several fruitless, repeat attempts, I am at a loss. Please help…

    Many thanks.
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Error message about forms when ID exported PDF is opened in Reader

    I'm using ID CS2.
    Has anyone successfully made navigation buttons on an exported PDF that doesn't produce an error message about forms when opened in Adobe Reader?
    There's an Adobe page about this that says it's caused by having a stroke too near a link field, but I can't seem to avoid the message if I place more than one button anywhere on a page. I've spent a lot of time playing with this and can't seem to find a workaround.
    Am I a sucker? Is anyone else trying to use this function other than me? It seemed like the perfect solution to this project I produced and now whenever a user opens the PDF they are greeted with a confusing message that has absolutely nothing to do with the functionality of the document.

    Well, everything in those PDFs were form fields. You can make form fields in Acrobat - and then you can right-click on 'em and change their appearance, whether or not they'll accept rich text input, whether or not they'll scroll, and so on. It could also be done in LiveCycle Designer, for what it's worth. I wrote a now-obsolete post about this in response to yours before Mike showed up with this video.
    Probably most of your work on your designs in InDesign would need to be trashed; you'd need to rebuild the whole thing in Acrobat or LiveCycle. I have to say that, unless your targeted documents are extremely simple, that this is one of the worst document translation workflows I've ever seen in the last fifteen years. It might work - I'm trying to keep an open mind, here - but if you have any non-Latin-script languages in your target list, or if print reproduction is what you're after, or if you're expecting tracking revisions to the translations to be anything but a nightmare, I would suggest that you test this method inside and out before progressing any further.

    great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!

    The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations.  Thank Apple for that.
    You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
    But first, give us details about your setup:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

    I received a message about having too many contacts?  Not sure what this means, didn't know there limitations on contacts.  Can you tell me about fixing this problem?

    What were you doing when you received the message?
    I have seen reports on these forums where there is a limit to how many contacts you can have in the "to" field of a text message. That is the only thing I can think of where someone has reported getting a warning about too many contacts.

  • I updated iTunes from the update message and now my Windows computer (at work- I use Mac at home) keeps sending me error messages about MobileMe and iTunes. It indicates a .dll error but I can't find any such file. I tried removing the entire ITunes app.

    I downloaded an update to my iTunes app on my work Windows computer and now I am constantly getting error messages about MobileMe, when I download a webpage and marked slowness of my Outlook application. I tried removing iTunes and reloading directly from the Apple site, but no change. One of my peers is having the same issue and messages.
    Any suggestions?
