How can I block persistent unwanted text messages from Games Co.

One day an uninvited text message arrived on my iPhone to click to win an iPad. Stupidly I clicked, won nothing, but now I get daily SMS messages and Safari website from a US games Co. Trying to sell games, wallpaper and other junk. Trying to unsubscribe the "home" website is a blank page and the contact phone number is permanently engaged. This is more than inconvenient it's stressful. How can I block this daily scam on my iPhone?

You're right. I mean, all they have to do is snap their fingers and wish the scam out of existence.
What makes you think Apple is responsible for chasing down scams on the Internet?

  • My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

    How can I retrieve my deleted text messages from my iPhone 5s?  I don't sync to a computer, only to iCloud.  My last backup was 2/19/14.

    Unless you had them backed up somewhere, I'm afraid they are gone.

  • How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone?

    How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone?  I have the 4s she has the 4.  When she got the latest update, everything on our phones synced.  She got her own apple id, but she is still getting all of my text messages.

    This is with iMessages only, and because she has the same email address available and selected under You can be reached at at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

  • How can I get rec'd text messages from the same subscriber not be appended

    Hi,
    Is there a way to configure the Apple iphone so that text messages from the same subscriber are displayed separately rather than appended to each other? In this way accidentally deleting one message wouldn't delete the entire history of messages from this subscriber.
    When I launch the SMS service by pressing the green SMS button I am met by a screen that says Text Messages. On the left of this there is a button that says Edit and on the right there is one that is for writing a new message. Down the page are my messages all grouped by the originator of each messages. If I choose one I see that all messages from this source are present appended one after the other. There is also the option now to Clear on the top right hand corner. It is this Clear option I am worried about. If I choose Clear I am asked for a confirmation and then lo and behold as expected all my messages from this subscriber are deleted.
    This is a work phone for support purposes and most of the texts will be from the telephone operator (i.e. the one same number) saying we have an email waiting to be read with a subject title giving a little description. I want to be in a position so that I don't accidentally delete the entire history of messages, say some evening when I'm tired or Monday morning if I 'm a bit asleep. Ideally I would prefer that each text message would stand alone in the Text Messages window irrespective of the originator and not be appended in a group fashion. Is there a way to do this?
    Kind regards,
    M

    There is no way to do that on the iPhone. Messages will always be grouped into a 'conversation' based on the sender/recipient. Only Apple can change that behavior.

  • How can I read non-deleted text messages from months ago without having to continuously press "Load Earlier Messages"?

    I never deleted text messages from a specific person in case I ever wanted to go back and look at them. Now months have gone by and I don't feel like continuously pressing "Load Earlier Messages" for hours trying to get back and look at them. Is there anyway I can upload the whole conversation on to my computer and read the entire conversation from the beginning?

    Yes.
    I use iBackupBot.

  • How can I transfer my saved text messages from one phone to another?

    I have a Blackberry Curve 9320 and recently it began malfunctioning, so I have been sent a replacement of the same model. My problem is that I can transfer things like photos and contacts easily enough but I want to know if there's a way of keeping the text messages that I'd saved on the previous phone and putting them on the new one, any ideas?

  • How can I print out stored text messages from an LG enV3?!

    My mother is on my phone plan, she has a LG enV®3 and has some text messages stored on her phone she would like printed out. I was told by the in-store salesman that this was something I could do here online. But I have yet to find a link that is providing that service. I need them as soon as possible as she is finally looking to upgrade to a new phone, but I can't find this mysterious link. As you may know the LG enV®3 is not a smartphone so I cannot use a messaging app to remove the texts. If anyone has information or knows how I could do this you'd help me greatly.

  • How can i save all my text messages from an old iphone to iTunes on a PC?

    My apps show up, but I can't get everything tansferred over. I have to save my old text messages for legal reasons as I am going through a divorce.

    You should be able to simply back up your iPhone via iTunes and that will automatically save your iPhone text messages to your computer. If for some reason you also want to export them or print them from your PC there a various programs that will let you do that. Here's a MacWorld article with a few tips.

  • How do I retrieve and view text messages from icloud

    How can I view and retrieve text messages from my ICloud?

    Apple provides functionality in the backup done via iTunes to backup the device and text messages.  There is no functionality to view the text messages on the computer.
    About iOS backups
    Other programs are available which can extract text messages from the device or the iTunes created backup and then be viewed on the computer.  To my knowledge, no program exists which can force backed up text messages into the device once they've been removed.

    how can i block an unwanted 12 digit number that has been constantly calling me? The number is >Number deleted<
    Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

        Hi there irock2! I know how pesky those unwanted calls can become. Since the calls are not coming from a normal 10-digit American number, it may be someone international attempting to reach you. Our Usage Controls http://bit.ly/plz3pA feature offers the ability to block international calls, and even calls from private and restricted numbers. We also offer the option to change your number at no charge through My Verizon http://bit.ly/WJbRNG if you'd like.

  • How can i print out old text messages?

    how can i print out old text messages?

    As Ann said, it does depend on your phone.  One third party app that works on many phones (especially older models, but not all phones) is BitPim ( http://www.bitpim.org/ ) but it can potentially harm/brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing - use it with caution.  I have used it successfully to get texts and photos off an old flip phone that was deactivated and had no sd card.
    Newer smartphones can download apps that will give you the ability to print out texts.

  • How can I check my daugters text messages?

    How can I check my Daughters text messages?  Her boyfriend is not the kind of boy I want her seeing but she is young and doesn't know what she wants.

    It is very simple.
    depending on how old she is.  If she is a minor, then the phone is technically your property and under contract with you. If she is older then 18 then you could have some legal issues in trying to do this.
    Either way, you can install SMS Backup on her phone or one of the other SMS apps.  SMS Backup will save a copy of every text message to a gmail account and you can simply read them from gmail.
    I am not going to lecture on the ethical or legal part of this as I do track my son (for various reasons) with this (with 100% knowledge on his side)
