Block Call Fails to stop picture text messages

I have been getting picture messages with long rambling text with it which are inappropriate from someone whose number I do not recognize. I have blocked the number on the myverizon website, but I am still getting them. I don't know how to stop this jerk from sending them when the blocking doesn't seem to work. Is there something else I can do or did I do something wrong? I tried looking the number up, but all the places on the net want my money to tell me who owns the number. One said it was a land line in Cheyenne, WY and another said it was a mobile in the Lander, Wyoming area. So even if I paid I'm not confident that the correct party would be identified. Help please.

The call message block feature prevents calls and normal texts but when it comes to picture/video messages, the subject line still gets through(no message or picture though). If you're still getting the message, try calling cs and having them remove then readd the block(the feature not just the number) then add the number again. Also you could try updating your phone if you haven't with *228, option 1. Hope this helps ^.^

Getting Call Failed but can send text messages

This is the first problem I have had with him IPhone 3g and have no idea what to do. I cannot send or receive calls but can tend text messages. I have plenty of credit on my phone and the battery is charged. I have turned off the phone and on again but nothing seems to help. Would be most grateful for any suggestions - I am a complete techno noob so would be grateful if you could keep it simple for me

Have you tried to test in other locations? Maye you'r just on the edge of the carriers network.
Make sure you have the available iOS updates and Carrier Settings.
If that doesn't do it, you can try Resetting Network Settings from Settings > General > Reset. You can also try restoring the iPhone.

How do I stop getting text messages on my macbook air

How do I stop getting text messages on my MacBook Air?

Hi,
The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.
Open the Messages app and go to the Preferences (In the drop down Menu in the Apps name in the Menu Bar)
In the Preferences select the Accounts tab.
Select the iMessages account if it is not selected.
Untick the iPhone Number to stop iMessages sent to your iPhone Number appearing on your Mac.
Also go to the General section of the Preferences.
There is an items that reads "When I quit, set the Status to Off Line" select this.
This will stop any incoming Messages (from any source that Messages can join) from launching to app when you have not started it but your Computer is On.
You may also want to go to your iPhone Settings and remove the Apple ID.

I have the iPhone 4S and my daughter has the iPad 2. We share my Apple ID. Is there any way to stop her text messages from appearing on my phone, and vice versa? She doesn't need to be reading my texts!

no, there currently is no way of doing this. You can only create a second Apple ID.

Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive. I was told it was just worn out. So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed. So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to. Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!! Thanks!

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

How to send a picture text message

New to the iphone but was always able to send a picture text message to anyone including my verizon friends with a LG phone worked great. However with the new iphone I try to send a text message with a picture and nobody receives it. Then I get a reply back that the attachment has been removed??? I don't want it as an attachment but a simple picture msg.
So the question is how do I send a picture text message to another person's phone
Thanks

The easiest way is opening up a message to the desired person and hitting the camera icon to the left of the message bar, where you will be prompted to pick one from your camera roll or take a new one.
You can also choose a current picture from your roll and select "MMS" when pressing the new message icon (arrow and a rectangle) in the corner of the screen.
If neither of these ways are working, check settings > messages > and make sure "MMS Messaging" is enabled.
If you still receive this error double check your AT&T account to ensure that your plan allows for MMS messaging.

IPhone 3G stops receiving text messages in the middle of a conversation

My iPhone 3G 3.1.2 frequently stops receiving text messages in the middle of a back-and-forth texting conversation. No other function on the phone seems to be interrupted, because I usually just continue using other apps before I realize it's been 10 minutes since the other person last replied.
I can receive the messages by turning the phone off and on (once I realize what's going on), but this is such a hassle, especially because I can waste 15 minutes of another person's time in the process. Interestingly, once I turn the phone back on, I receive the messages and they tell me they were received at the earlier time (ie., if I was previously texting at 1:53, it might say 1:55, even though nothing showed up AT 1:55). So it seems like the phone receives the text and knows that it did, but for some reason doesn't display it or notify me at the time.
I've seen similar threads in this forum to this problem, but they all seem to be accompanied by other malfunctions, which this is not.
I'm on Telus in Canada.

How do I stop my text messages giving me a preview on the iPhone 4S?

On my old iPhone 3GS, I was able to stop the text messages from showing what was in them on the lock screen. It would come up with the person's name, and underneath just say "Text Message". However, on my new 4S, I have no idea how to do it. I can't find the option anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Preview > Off

I am having tremendous difficulty sending simple voice text messages, or typed text messages to non I-phone users. Picture text messages will not send at all and can only be sent to other i-phone users. Is anyone else haing this problem ?? Big concern

Well this is stupid - I wrote the question above and now it is telling me the message is blank - how dumb is this.
I am having tremendous difficulty sending sipmle typed texts, voice texts and picture text messages to non I- phone users.
Simple text messages are sporadic and seem to be impacted by whether I incluse a subject or not - picture texts will not go at all.
Anyone else having this problem ???

It's a corporate phone so will need to check. Will not send text messages to non I-phones if they contain a "subject" or a picture. Wierd - regular voice or typed text messages are fine.

My phone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says it sends, but nothing arrives. Any tips?

My 3G iPhone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says its sent but it does not arrive. Any ideas?

Are you seeing this problem when sending a SMS, MMS or iMessage? Does it go away if you disable MMS or iMessage in Settings > Messages?
Make sure the phone number that you aren't able to send texts to has an area code.
If that doesn't help, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

Can any one tell me how my husband and I can stop receiving text messages sent to him on my phone? His text messages to me are showing up under my number, like he is me?

Go to settings, messages, send and recieve, scroll to where it says start new conversation from, and make sure you each have a different email address checked instead of the same email address.

Why can't I call out when I'm in Mongolia? I can receive calls and send and receive text messages.

I'm currently in Mongolia and can not call out from my iPhone 4S using a Mobicom SIM card. I can receive calls and send and receive texts. I use my regular SIM card from Canada and it works fine. It worked fine 6 months ago.

Having incorrect APN settings shouldn't be stopping text message from coming though. But to get the correct APN setting just delete any APN profiles on the device. And the EE ones should just get installed but you can just to make sure use the link that has posted.

IPhone 3G S - Calls not coming through. Text Message Delays in NYC

I know it's not a down tower.. I was just transfered to a "Tier-2" ATT tech rep.
Here's my problem.. Between 25-50% of my calls are not showing up on my phone, they just go straight to voicemail.
I upgraded from the 3G 16gb to the 3G S 32GB yesterday and noticed these side effects immediately after activating through iTunes. The tech re-activated my phone to the new sim card and had me reset my network settings through general -> reset -> reset network settings..
Before I go and bring my 3G S back to the store and
a) Exchange it
b) Return it all together
Has anyone else experienced these issues? I also noticed text messages have been delayed anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours.

I am seriously disappointed here.
I own the black 32GB iPhone 3GS and have been an iPhone user since the original iPhone 2G in 2007. I have upgraded my iPhones every year and religiously use Mac products. I am not a fan boi. Mac products work for me.
Except the 3GS.
I need so help here.
I purchased the 3GS not because of the 3G data advantage but because of the video recording features and the compass and the general battery life enhancement.
Let me give you a run down.
I have 4 email accounts: MobileMe-Push, AOL- Fetch, Yahoo-Push and Gmail on fetch.
I have 1,465 songs, 13 videos and 1497 photos. Of those, only 5 were taken by the 3GS' camera. I have 17GB free. I don't rush to fill space. I have 46 application installed.
Now there are three things that are happening that never happened on the other phones that have me deeply disturbed and praying that Apple issues a fix because this is serious!!!
I got the phone about 3 weeks after its launch.
It burns through the battery and that incoming call issue.
I use the term 'burn' because the phone does get hot and it has never lasted more than 1 day in standby.
However, all of that stops when I turn the push notifications and push email off.
When I turn push notification off for Beejive and I turn push off for Yahoo! and MobileMe and restart the iPhone, I realize on a full charge it lasts long. I get all my calls and text and everything.
But that is an inconvenience.
I, like many iPhone users, have opted to not sync my contacts through iTunes but use MobileMe instead. Not only that, but Apple's MobileMe 'Find My iPhone' feature only works with the push services on.
All of this is with 3G services turned off in the Network settings. I prefer to use the Edge as I have a 10 Mbps wifi network readily available and I don't require the speed for YouTube so much as I listen to music and rarely use the online video service.
With Push email on and Beejive push notifications on, I do not receive any calls. Callers hear my line ring twice then it goes to voicemail. I don't even get the voicemail notification until hours after. Same thing with text. I always get delayed text whenever I make a call.
Wasn't it Apple's idea to do push notification as compared to background processing to save battery life? So must I chose between push notifications and push email and being able to receive my phone calls? And what's the use of use push notifications when it eats battery life anyway? How come the 3G and the 2G running 2.2.1 give this problem. And Apple insults people when they tell us to turn Push notification of! I NEED my push emails. I do business with contacts in IM and if they didn't want to give us background processes why make a big deal about push notification and profess that it doesn't use all that battery life? Why is it 2.2.1 never gave these problems.
AT&T ***** but it is not all their fault. I know this is an iPhone issue because when I put the SIM card in another phone, it works perfectly.
I did not upgrade to 3.0 to have to chose between push email and receiving calls and battery life. The 3G worked just fine. The 2G worked just fine.
I seriously hope that 3.1 addresses this because this is utter nonsense!
The iPhone is the best in it's class otherwise I would have seriously ditched it long time and gotten a Pre or an Android phone but they are not close. Their app offering ***** and the iPhone's keyboard is really good. (I'm a God with that thing!)
Give me a 2.0 for my 3GS and let me at least live with push email and be able to receive calls.
