Blocking an International Number and a Yahoo text message number ?

Is there anyway to block a number from the UK and a number through which I'm getting texts through yahoo ? Edit: I've tried blocking them and the either one is too long or the other is too short due to the 10-digit rule.

There is nothing more annoying than being contacted by someone you want to have no contact with. With that being said, you do have the option to block certain numbers and email addresses from contacting you on your mobile device. However, call blocking is limited by:
Incoming call and message blocking is not available on International numbers.
Limited to five 10-digit phone numbers only.
Verizon Wireless Financial Services Call Center or collection agency numbers cannot be entered or blocked.
Caller ID Block, where not recognized, may not be blocked.
Call Blocking should not be provided to suspended accounts.
The Call Blocking feature only blocks inbound voice calls and incoming messages from a number on the block list.
All blocked individuals receive the blocked Picture/Video message in their inbox, including the subject line. However they will not be able to view content body (text and multi-media items).
International numbers may not be added.
Call Blocking cannot be added to past due accounts.
Exactly what do you mean by  "a number through which I'm getting texts through yahoo"? 
Are you receiving emails from an unsolicited person? If this is the case, you can in fact block e-mail addresses.
We do offer Internet Spam Blocking using Spam Controls with options to block all Internet spam, email spam, or spam from specific email addresses.
You can  reply to the sender with a request to stop sending messages.
You can  register at https://text.vzw.com/customer_site/jsp/messaging_lo.jsp and use the > Preferences > Text Blocking and select from options to block all Internet, all email, specific domains, specific email addresses

  • How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group

    How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group
    This would be an SMS group similar to an email listserv but running on the SMS network
    I have seen private individuals offering this service
    It seems strange to me that no internet site like Apple, Yahoo or Google offers this as a free service much as the email group services are free services.

    I think the app GroupMe might do what you want. You might also try contacting your carrier. My carrier offered some fancy group texting service for a while but they never really advertised it so, unless you asked, you never would have known. But, GroupMe is available in the app store. There are lots of other apps that also do group texting but it seems to be the one that gets recommended the most.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.

    I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.I went to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistered my old iPhone to resolve the issue. It's been one day and I cannot recieve text messages from Iphones

    Verizon wiping out old phones would have nothing to do with it. The phone is no longer associated with the number, so wiping the phone would have no effect. It is your Apple ID which is the problem. You have iMessage turned on for your Apple ID. iPhones which have your Apple ID associated with your contact will send texts to your Apple ID, not your phone #. If you have another Apple device which can use iMessage, you could turn off iMessage in that device, but as long as your friends have your Apple ID associated with your contact and you have turned on iMessage in an Apple device and never turned it off before switching from an Apple device to another platform, you will have this problem.
    You can bet that Apple will not address the problem, as they don't see it as a problem if someone is using a phone other than an iPhone. Apple expects no one will ever switch away from an iPhone once one has been used. Therefore, no problem for them to address.
    The problem lies with Apple wanting their users to go through yet another proprietary interface, iMessage, which the MAJORITY of all smartphone users do not have access.

  • Unfortunately messaging has stopped and not receiving text messages

    I, am also having issues with "unfortunately messaging has stopped", AND, NOT receiving text messages. I also have 2 other Droid Ultra's on my account doing the same thing. This is totally unacceptable!!! I am not paying $600 for a piece of crap phone that does not work. I had my phone recently replaced because Verizon thought that was the problem. I can't even get the message screen to stay up long enough to type a message, if it opens at all!
    Also I am getting tired of NOT receiving messages sent to me! When I do get them, the icon tells me I have a message with a number usually no more than a designation of 2 but reverts back to a 1, and, when I open the message, read it, and close out of it, if it does not close out on its own because of stopped messaging, the number on the message icon does not clear out. I have to turn off the phone and restart it to clear it. This is not acceptable and I would expect better from Verizon, not the run around!! If I had to send an urgent message and get a reply, do to the fact I am disabled, and this is my only way to communicate, that this is extremely unacceptable!!!!
    I expect this to be resolved yesterday, not when you all get around to it, OR, issue me a Samsung!!! I am sure all of the others would agree!!!
    I look to hear from you ASAP!!

    Hello,
    I am using the messaging app that was preloaded with the phone, the green face icon. I do not have an "Android Keyboard" app, but I have cleared the cache on the "Messaging" app, several times. I have also gone to the Verizon store where an associate did a soft reboot, telling me that would work. A very short time later, the error message started appearing again--so this did not work either.
    The error message comes very sporadically. Sometimes several in a few minutes, other times not for hours.

  • I got a new iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad now, how do I stop them from showing up on my iPad?

    I just switched from a iPhone 4S to iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad as well as my phone. How to I turn this feature off and just keep them on my phone?

  • TS2755 I have 2 phones on my apple id acct. And when I text message that person I am getting a duplicate message to myself. How do I stop this from happening

    I have 2 phones attached to my apple ID account and when I text message that person, I am getting a duplicate message sent back to me.  How do I stop this from happening?

    Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage.   That will permanently fix your issue.

  • After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can't edit and copy multiple text messages.

    After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?

    Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within  chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.
    Whatever happened to "if it ain broke.......???

  • I have the iPhone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    I have the iphone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.

  • After Loading Lion I now get 5 windows w/ a graphic of a Red Stop sign with an ! mark and the following text message: "DAVE Networking  Dave kernel extensions could not be loaded! Error 71 - Too many levels of remote in path."

    After Loading Lion I now get 5 windows w/ a graphic of a Red Stop sign with an ! mark and the following text message:
    "DAVE Networking 
    Dave kernel extensions could not be loaded! Error
    71 - Too many levels of remote in path."
    I have uninstalled DAVE and used Clean App to remove trace elements of program, however I still get the message and am unable to eliminate the error messages.  When I click OK the message goes away briefly and then comes back up.
    Any solutions would be great.

    Dave,
    Thanks....What I did was load the free eval version of Dave 9.0 and then used the uninstaller which must have deleted the kernel giving me the problem. 
    Thanks for the response.

  • TS2755 every time i try and sent a text message it brings up an old conversation

    every time i try and send a text message from new it brings up a previous conversation in the box i cant seem to get rid of it

    I have the same issue it randomly does it to it won't send any of my messages at all but I found a way to fix its been working for since I've done it.
    I have a sprint iPhone all and if you have sprint all you have to do is go to your iPhone keypad and dial ##873283# then a message will pop up saying "starting service update" when finished another message will pop up saying "service update complete"
    From here this should fix your problem only if you have sprint if not try calling Verizon if you have Verizon

    Is it possible to see hack into someone's iphone4 and view there text messages!

    Sure, anything can be hacked...but they would need physical possession of your phone to do so.
