Can you block a text message sender?

Not from the phone itself. Contact your carrier. In the U.S., all the major carriers offer some type of blocking for calls and text.

    Can you convert your text messages from your phone to your computer?

    Text messages are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. There are utilities such as this one that provide for extracting this and other data from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer for reading, printing, archiving, etc.

    SMS is exchanged over the same network as calls - no data involved.
    MMS requires data.
    iMessage requires the same as email - internet access via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular data network.
    You can disable SMS/MMS altogther with your account by requesting this with AT&T. You can turn iMessage off unless your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network.

  • 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??

    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.

  • HT3529 can you retrieve deleted text messages

    Is there a way to recover deleted text messages

    (I know this is a somewhat old thread, but someone may stumble on it if they're in a similar situation!)
    It really all depends, unfortunately. When the messages are deleted, the database storing them marks it as "deleted" but doesn't actually destroy the information fully. Eventually the database will recompact the space, rearrange, and reuse, but until then the message could be found.
    With that said, from my own experience, sometimes the much older messages are the ones that happen to stick around, and the newer ones get overwritten first. It all just depends on how the space in the file gets compacted and reused I'd say it's worth a try to look.
    I am the main developer for Decipher TextMessage, which has a feature to recover deleted text messages from the iPhone backup files. The nice thing is that the software will scan for your iTunes backups of your phones (perhaps finding the message in an older backup before it was deleted!), show you all of the regular not-deleted messages, and then you can press the recover button to look for deleted information. I usually recommend running the program once to see what older information you have (always better to get the original not-deleted version when possible) and then make a new backup and run Decipher TextMessage again.
    I hope this helps someone out! If you want to send us some more questions directly, you can do so from our website http://deciphertools.com

  • HT201269 can you retrieve old text message ?

    I'm needing to get text messages that i sent from a year ago. Can you retrieve text messages?

    I think you can retrieve old messages.  I have done it to the extent of a couple months on my iPhone looking up some info I needed.  What I did was kept scrolling back to "load earlier messages" and they kept coming till I got to the info I wanted.  They are always telling you this stuff lives forever, at least in court supeonas. 
    I have wondered if I could go back through the iMessages using my lap top.  As a parent of young adults, their messages to me through the last several years are such a travelogue of their lives, I wouldn't mind reading it again.  Probably someone in criminal justice would know how to do it better. 

  • How can you recover old text message on the iPhone 4S?

    I'm not sure what happened, but recently I lost all of my old text messages. I use these for historical documentation and need to know if there is a way to recover them. Any suggestions/advice you have is appreciated!

  • Can you import old text messages from a backup?

    Prior to updating to iOS 8, I did a full backup to iCloud and iTunes.  I decided to start from scratch though.  I think the only thing I'm a little upset to lose is all my text messages.  Is there any way to import them from an old backup?

    MacBook Pro

    Restoring from a backup is an all or nothing thing. There isn't a way to restore just text messages that I'm aware of.

  • Can you block attachments from one sender?

    I have someone who emails me from their work email and it includes (ridiculous I know) an attachment in every email which is basically an image of their business card. So I'm wondering if there's a way to filter or block just this image from their account so I don't download it every time. I've tried creating a rule to block it without luck.
    Are there any options or is there something I'm missing?
    Thanks!

    I'm afraid not - as you have found, Rules work only on message which have already been downloaded. The only way to do this would be to set up an equivalent rule on your mail server - a very few ISPs can do this (as it happens my ISP allows setting of rules and this would be possible there) but if yours doesn't, it doesn't.
    You can set Mail to ask before downloading messages over a certain size, but that would apply to every message from everybody.

  • Customer Support: Can you identify this text message?

    Hi,
    Can someone from Verizon tell me why I got the following text and what it means:
    "//VZWVVM:SYNC:ev=NM;id=1;c=1;t=v;s=My Home Phone Number Here;dt=18/11/2014 14:53 -0500;l=9;dev_t=5"
    I have had 3 such undecipherable messages in the past few days (all a little different). They appear to be coming from Verizon.
    Thanks

    Yesterday afternoon I called my cell phone from a land line phone to leave a message to test the voice mail feature of the cell phone. The text I received, posted above, is a result of that voice message. It came in right after I left the voice message. I did not get an indication on my cell phone of that voice mail until this morning when I turned the phone on.
    It is still not clear to me why I got the text, or why it took so long for my cell phone to indicate that I had a voice message.

  • HT201304 can you block texting to specific numbers?

        Great question, jtgeor!
    You can block up to 5 numbers from call and messaging you with our free Call & Message block feature. Here is how: http://vz.to/MqEgqB
    We can place a hard block on text messages as well which will prevent all incoming and outgoing messages.
