Getting spam texts with no number

Hi, I have recently started receiving spam texts advertising casinos/gambling sites but the texts are from a name ("Support" and "Neteller") and not a number so I am unable to report/block them.  I have tried saving the contact to see if a number is attached to the name but it just populates the number field with the name so I don't think there is any number. Is there any way to either block this type of message or get their number so I can report them? I know reporting them does pretty much nothing but it makes me feel better... Thanks in advance for any answers. Galaxy Note II, Android 4.4.2 

Yes . call ee and they can block third party texts coming through.

  • How to block Spam text from random number

    So, here's the story. I somehow (knowingly or unknowingly) touched & dialled a number from an adult content app and then hung up. Since that day, I keep getting text msgs from different numbers, with lewd text & asking me to call a number (constant across all these sms-es). I block the number using MyVerizon number blocking service; but in 2-3 days I get similar text, asking me to call the same number, from a different number. I keep on blocking this new number (from where the text came) and they keep on sending same text from a different number. This keep on increasing my text bill.
    Is there any way to stop this nonsense?
    If I reply to one of those texts saying "STOP", as the verizon customer care rep suggested, wouldn't that flag my number as LIVE and they'll start sending me more texts?
    How about using sms blocker apps? Again, question there is - do the sms blocker apps just delete spam msgs upon receiving and will I still incur the sms cost in my bill?
    Please advice. I'm totally frustrated about this...

    As for app I can say that anyway texts are coming to your phone...I have got Call Control installed and I even wrote to their tech support. I got an answer that it is just impossible not to direct texts to your phone. And not one app does this. Yes, you will not see them if the number is blocked, but texts will be there.
    In some situations it is even comfortable - if I block someone's number so that he or she doesn't call but still want to read texts)))

  • Can't send but can receive text with certain number but can send/receive to others

    After a year of texting with an out of network (T mobile) number, yesterday my phone became unable to send text to it.  It receives no problem, sends and receives to other numbers and the t mobile number is sending and receiving other numbers without issue.  I get an error message with the X envelope icon.  I've rebooted and had the old conversation deleted from the t mobile number.  I have no idea how to troubleshoot further

    Success!  I tried *228 but no improvement.  Took the phone to Verizon and they blamed Facebook, which I think is close to the truth.  Verizon doesn't support texting to 11 digit phone numbers, so if your contacts are synched to something that uses that format, it might change the way the phone sees the contacts phone number when it tries to SMS the contact.  Lose the leading 1 and you should be OK.

  • Get Header Text with special characters

    Dear Experts,
    I have written a program using READ_TEXT FM to get header text from Delivery.
    However, one of the fields has a value "K&N".
    When I get the header text, it shows "K<(>%<)>N".
    How can I get back the normal text? Or do I need to replace the strings manually?
    It is stupid.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Cato

    Hi Cato,
    Just go to this thread and solution from Valter.

  • Populate header text with reference number and vendor name

    Hi Experts,
    My client wants to populate the line item text field - SGTXT in MIRO / FB60 with the reference number field XBLNR and the vendor name.
    Is it possible to do it before the invoice get posted?. Like, just after the user entered the vendor account number and the reference number in FB60 system picks the vendor name against the vendor number from LFA1 table and the reference number entered in FB60 screen and populates them in text field ?
    Similarly in MIRO - before the invoice get posted is it possible to pick the reference number from MIRO screen and pick the vendor name based on the PO number entered on the MIRO screen.
    Please advise how to do this.
    Thank you
    Shino

  • Substitute Function in Excel: Replace text with instance number in BO

    Hi,
    I have a column where data is merged from three other columns each text separated by "-". Ex: Services - Phoneline - New Customer.
    What I wanted to do is to just get the last text which is "New Customer" separated. I used "Length(<columnValue>)-Length(Replace(<columnValue),"-",""))" to get the number of instances of "-" in the text as it varies from 1 to 3.
    I use to do it in excel using substitute function where I have the facillity to use the character instance number. I don't know how to do this in Business objects.
    Please help...
    Thanks

    Col A is a list of the capabilities and the formulas are in COL B of this sheet.  [....] The problem that I am experiencing is that for some of the capabilities I am see correct count totals for some while others are not for instance, "Account
    Management" shows correct while "Security Awareness Program" is not. I have copied the text for each of the capabilities from the main sheet into Col A to reduce keystroke errors. I have also copied those strings into some of the problematic
    formulas instead of using the cell address to see if the results change.
    Good troubleshooting techniques.  Unless someone gets lucky with a wild guess, I suspect we cannot help without having the workbook to see the situation for ourselves.
    You can upload an example Excel file (devoid of any private data) that demonstrates the problem to a file-sharing website.
    Then post the "shared", "public" or "view-only" link (aka URL; http://...) in a response here.
    The following is a list of some free file-sharing websites; or use your own.

    I suspect that the problem has to do with either a mismatch in spacing or the presence of non-breaking spaces (HTML &nbsp) or other non-printing characters, notwithstanding your efforts to eliminate that possibility with your copy-and-paste experiments.

  • Getting Smooth Text with Boris Title Crawl (Scroll)

    Hi, using FCP 5 (Studio) with Boris Title Crawl generator.
    It seems to work pretty well, does what it should, renders relatively fast, all that. The only problem is the upward scrolling motion is a little jumpy. Just wondering what things I should be tweaking or some general strategy for getting a smooth text scroll.
    The timeline is 10-Bit uncompressed NTSC so there aren't DV text issues here (or so I'd think). I'm trying different fonts, bold and sans-serif. It looks OK, but not broadcast (DVD actually) ready.
    Thanks everybody, much appreciated.
    Jason

    Thanks Jim, makes sense.
    To adjust speed, do you mean basically slightly change the length of the clip? I don't see any other place to alter that.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • How can I get a report with total number of pages printed on my HP Officejet Pro 8610?

    Since knowing the number of pages I print is so critical to a choice of using the "HP Instant Ink Plan" or not, how can I find the total number of pages I have printed on my brand-new (installed 2 days ago) 8610?  And if I can, is it a "resettable" or rolling total?  Don't see anything in user guide and a search yields nothing usable on this blog.
    Printer is installed wirelessly on an older PC with Windows XP SP3.  I can also of course intstall it with network cable but so far it works OK on my home network without network cable.  If it matters which OS, I also have a Lenovo laptop running Vista on which I can install this printer. 
    Please do not respond that I can find the total by counting the number of pieces of paper I have.  Surely the internals of this fine machine must have the requested data so that HP can tell my usage if I select the monthly ink plan!
    This 8610 was a good buy (net $89.00 after trade-in of my six year old J36xx Deskjet) at Office Depot/Max which of course influenced my decision to buy it.  So far I am very happy with printing qualities and speed, have not tried the scanner yet and will probably never use the fax since I have no land line phone. 
    Thanks,
    Harry

    Hi,
    Section #2 of the Printer Ststus report will tell you. Please try:
    Printer status report
    Use the printer status report to view current printer information and ink cartridge status. Also use the printer status report to help you troubleshoot problems with the printer.
    The printer status report also contains a log of recent events.
    If you need to call HP, it is often useful to print the printer status report before calling.
    To print the Printer Status Report
    1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
    2. Touch Print Reports and then touch Printer Status Report.
    Regards.

  • What does it mean if I get blank text messages from someone but they are not coming from number they appear and disappear they are not coming over the network also emails have been moved around, has my phone been hacked?

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

  • 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??

    Forward the texts to SPAM and follow the directions in the reply text that you receive from Verizon.
    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.

  • How to get the text in a label which is imbeded in a JTextPane

    I have created a JTextPane that has 5 JLabels inserted in the text. I have attempted to get the text with the following code snippet.
    Component[] lbl = new Componennt[DisplayLetterPane.getComponentCount()];
    //         JTextPane DisplayLetterPane; is defined previously
             lbl = DisplayLetterPane.getComponents();
             int componentIndex = 0;
             String lblText = new String(((JLabel)lbl[componentIndex]).getText());I have run a dump of the sytledDocument of the JTextPane and I see the JLabel listed as a component.
    When this snippet is executed I get the following:
    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.swing.text.ComponentView$Invalidator
    When I check the character where the component for the JLabel is located in the styled document it does not find an instanceof JLabel.
    How can I get the text from the labels.
    Thank you in advance!

    JTextPane jtp = new JTextPane();
              for (int i = 0; i <5; i++) {
                   jtp.add(new JLabel("labelText"+i));
              Component[] lbl = new Component[jtp.getComponentCount()];
    //      JTextPane DisplayLetterPane; is defined previously
          lbl = jtp.getComponents();
          int componentIndex = 0;
          for (int i = 0; i < lbl.length; i++) {
               System.out.println(((JLabel)lbl).getText());
    When I do like the above, it just works fine. Can u share a little bit more of your code?
