Being harassed by a gmail account sending me text messages

Verizon. I have been being harassed by a gmail account sending me text messages. I have call blocker turned on and withheld numbers blocked on my phone. I also have gone into the accounts and put the email address the text messages are coming from into the internet blocker. I have also changed my settings so all text from the internet to my phone are blocked on that same page. I am still getting messages from that email. Is there something else I can do to get it blocked or is there a reason the web site is not blocking the texts like it says it should? Thanks

I tracked down the IP Phone Services for sending text. The Push2Phone example is what I will look at first; I found a reference to it in the Cisco_IP_Phone_Services_SDK_Overview.pdf.
Thanks for your help.

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • My icloud account is automatically sending blank text messages to my friends

    My Icloud account is automatically sending blank text messages to my friends. what's going on and how do i stop this from happening?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Elizabeth.
    Does anyone else have access to your Apple ID.

  • When I send a text message from my iphone sometimes the recipient receives it twice...why does this happen.

    Why is it that when I send a text message, sometimes the recipient receives it twice. It doesn't happen every time.

    I am having this same problem. Sometimes it sends from my phone number, sometimes it sends from my gmail. Under my messages settings it says "receive messages at 2 addresses" and when I click on that I try to remove the gmail address from there but the option to delete that email address is grayed out so I can't click on it.
    I discovered this was happening because I am in a group imessage with 2 friends. They told me that for some reason the group convos were split into 2 different conversations in their message list. And we discovered it's because in one group the messages are coming from my phone number, and in the other group it is coming from my gmail address.
    I don't mind RECEIVING iMessages at both my phone number and my gmail - but I want control over which one is being used when I SEND iMessages.
    Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

  • When I send a text message the receiving party does not know who it came from?

    When I send a text message to someone they keep asking me who sent this message?  Please explain what I need to change.

    I am not sure what you mean.
    Do you mean the From field?
    You can change it by tapping it, it will give you options based on the other email accounts set up.
    You can set a default account here:
    Sttings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Mail section & you will see Default Account. You can change that to your gmail account.

  • When I send a text message through my work email, keep in mind I do not get my work email on my phone, the response comes back to my phone instead of my work email. Where do I need to go to change this to keep it from happening?

    I do not have my iphone synced with my work email but when I send a text message via my work email any response I get comes to my phone. Why? How do I change that because I do not want my phone connected with my work email?
    Thank you

  • Help! New iphone 3g not sending/recieving text messages or email!!!

    Hey guys. I just got myself a 3g iphone today and im already havin issues with it. I updated to 3.1.2 right off the bat.
    Well it seems that i can send email, but that seems to be about it. I can not send or recieve text messages. I can recieve email, but it will not notify me when I get a new email. The only way i can find out if i have a new email is by opening the mailbox and waiting for it to refresh.
    Isnt this thing suposed to push my emails and notify me as soon as they are sent? How do i get this and my text messaging working? This is so disapointing since my wife just got a $10 phone that worked flawlesly right out of the box.
    thanks all,
    ---Joe

    First off, Reset your iPhone. Hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the off slider, wait for the Apple logo to appear then let the buttons go. After it resets try to send a text message again. If it does not work there is probably an issue with your carrier and you will have to contact them.
    As far as mail, do you have a MobileMe, Yahoo push, GMail push, or Exchange mail account? Because these are the only ones that will Push your mail to the iPhone. If you do have one of these make sure Push is turned on in the Mail settings. If you don't have one of these you can go to the Mail settings and specifying a mail Fetch period.

  • When I send a text message to one of my daughters, the message ends up going to my other daughter's iphone.  Why?

    When I send a text message to one of my daughters, the message ends up going to my other daughter's iphone.  Why?  All three of our iphones are using the same itunes account but all of the sharing is turned off and I have checked to make sure that each phone is set to only recieve imessages at its own number. 

    Are you using the same email address for imessages, Go to settings,message, send and recieve, does each phone have the same email? checked?

  • I cant send long text messages

    I have noticed that everytime I try to send a long text message (over 160 texts) the person never recieves it. In combination with no notificatin of going over 160 characters, not being able to resend or cut and paste this is becoming a big and annoying problem for me. Is there something Im missing or is this just another major inconvience of the iphone? I love some things about the phone but there sure do seem to be some major flaws. Any help/advice?

    thank you for such a quick response. Yes the recipient is another at&t customer using a blackberry. I never had a problem sending long text messages before getting my iphone (think the record with my old phone, a sony ecrisson w580i was 10 text messages long). I tried testing it today sending one that was 159 characters and one that was 161 characters, the 159 was recieved while the 161 was not. I tried contacting at&t and recieved a very shady answer (they suggested maybe the signal in the area which I reluctantly accepted at the time, however as time has gone on it has become obivious this is not the problem). I figured it must be another iphone characteristic however the lack of other owners mentioning this problems led me to seek help.

  • I cannot send out text messages

    I cannot send out text messages - I can receive them - cannot send them to a contact.
    This contact has a multiple contacts ranging from gmail to facebook.  I deleted all the contacts and now the contact can receive my text messages.
    I noticed a small x in a circle to the right of the contact's name. A red x in a circle would appear and say my text messages not sent. I would resend - nothing changed. 
    Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix the contact so I can text without getting these messages.
    The contact is not blocking me by the way - it is my spouse LOL
    Thank you

    Thanks to draya06 for your response.
    Please try deleting all text messages from this person and resend. Do you have a signature on your outgoing text messages? If so please remove the signature and retry. If these don't work please PM me and we will further troubleshoot this issue.
    Thank you

  • 2 days ago I was able to manually send my text messages to my email in box. Now I can't.. any ideas?

    2 days ago I was able to manually send my text messages to my email in box. Now I can't.. any ideas?
    I was always able to go into the particular text that I wanted to save. Press on the text and it would give the option of either copy, more or speak.  I would click more and on the far left side the text would be checked and I was able to click and check multiple texts within. Once I had selected what I wanted to send to my email account. I would click on the arrow on the bottom right side and a new screen would come up I would tap within and all the text messages that I checked would appear and I would then enter my email address and hit the send and it would appear in my email send box.  NOW I CAN”T DO THIS.. I have been on the phone with Apple 3 times with no reason… Anyone have suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Without knowing what settings you are currently using, its impossible to say what has gone wrong.

  • I have downloaded ios7 and a little while later I cannot send a text message to another iphone

    I recently downloaded ios7 and then the second download and after a couple of days I can no longer send a text message to another iphone

    If it was not sent, it is possible that you prevented it from being sent. However, if it made it to the Apple server before it tried sending as a SMS, it is very possible it still could be sent. In my opinion, I would say no.

  • Why can't people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

    Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

    Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
    They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.

  • Everytime I try to send a text message it fails

    My friend just bought an iphone 4 and she can not send regular text messages out.. only imessages to people that have iphones. She gets the alert notification saying it failed to send. Also she set up her email like it told her to and now her contact name is her email address. She just wants her name there... What do we do?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    When creating an email account, there is a name field to enter the name you want shown with the email address. Her name needs to be entered there.
