How can I disable Text Messaging on my Iphone?

How can I disable Text Messaging on my Iphone -- so I do not receive any texts. I do not have nor currently want an AT&T text plan, and I really don't want to be charged .20 for the text messages that will inevitably be sent my way from friends & coworkers who do not know I don't want texts.
AT&T had a link only for blocking spam texts, but I don't think this will stop standard SMS texts.
Anyone do this? Does this involve a call to AT&T. There must be a way to disable it, no?
Thanks in advance!

You would have to ask AT&T if they can turn off your text capabilities.

  • How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

    Hello everyone,
    How can I delete text messages from my iphone?  I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
    Please let me know,
    Thanks,

    Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

  • How can I receive text messages on my iPhone and iPad ?

    How can I receive text messages on my iPhone and iPad?

    If you are using the iMessage app on your iPad, you need to use the same email address you use on your iPhone.  But, be advised, that when people email your cell number on your iPhone, you will not get the message on your iPad.  iPad is not a cell phone.  And also know that iMessage on iPad is intended to only let you text with other iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) devices. 
    If you want to be able to text to anyone from your contacts list (those for example who do not own an iOS device), there are free apps in the App Store, such as TextFree, which you can download.  But, TextFree will assign you a number (I know kind of odd since iPad is not a cell phone), which you can then text anyone you want.  You'll just need to let your friends know the texts are coming from you.

    Hi,
    I believe the phone uses Android OS, v2.3.4 (Gingerbread) therefore you can use one of these applications:

  • HT3529 How can you recover text messages in iphone that have been deleted?

    How can you recover text messages that have been deleted from an iphone?

    If the phone was backed up either to iCloud or iTunes on your computer BEFORE the texts were deleted, restoring the backup will restore the texts to your phone.  If they were not backed up, they're gone permanently.

  • How can i disable the message "leave page / stay on page"

    How can i disable the message "leave page / stay on page" please explain step by step if if it involved inserting java script.
    Thanks

    These three userscripts are along the same lines as the one link to above:
    * [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/180752 AllowPageClose] - recently posted, appears to run a timer to watch for changes and make sure it's really dead
    * [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/121551 Disable - remove onbeforeunload]
    * [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/98260 Kill Sure Want To Nav Away]
    None of the four scripts has any mechanism for site exceptions built into it, but you can make exceptions using Greasemonkey's user settings tab. You do that using the script's Options dialog. You can do that from the Add-ons page, User Scripts category. Either:
    * Monkey toolbar button > Manage User Scripts
    * Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Alt+a) > User Scripts
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > User Scripts
    Then click the Options button for the relevant script. On the User Settings tab, in the Excluded Pages box, you can enter the site that you want to carve out of the script. Note that in order to match all pages on the site, you need to use the wildcard character (*) as shown in the attached screen shot.

    How do I retrieve text messages from a iPhone 4S that doesn't work anymore?

    If the phone isn't working, you can't.  If you have a backup on your computer, you may be able to extract them from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor (see http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com).

  • How can I save text messages to my Mac and will that reduce "Other" in storage?

    I have hundreds (or more) of text messages on my iPhone 5 that for personal reasons, I want to save. There are far too many to do screenshots. I want to save them to my MacBook Pro Retina in a readable and printable format. The reason is that I read that text messages can cause the "Other" storage to be higher. My "Other" is over 6 GB on a 16 GB iphone. Therefore I want to save texts, print them, and delete from phone.
    First question: Is it true that text messages contribute to the size of "Other"?
    Second question: How can I save texts to Mac in readable format so they could be printed? 
    Third question: How in the world do I delete all these texts from my iPhone efficiently? Is there a way to "mass delete"?
    When you are answering this, perhaps it is noteworthy that:
    (a) I've had an iPhone since a 3G in 2009, and the texts I want to save have been accumulating since then.
    (b) My "Other" has gradually gotten larger over the years. 
    (c)  I sync with itunes regularly.
    (d) I've never had any problems with an iphone or with my data.
    (e) I've restored from backup only three times, when I upgraded to the iphone 4, 4S, and 5.
    I want to get this "Other" cleared up before I upgrade to the iphone 5S. 
    Thank you.

    You can select to export a folder to save as a .mbox file. This file would need to be imported if you wanted to view the messages.
    Select mailbox (folder)
    Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Export Mailbox...
    You might also want to check out the demo for EagleFiler by the author for SpamSieve. You could view and search the messages archived in EagleFiler.

    Regarding Mail being slow....
    Is it only Mail that is slow?  How much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility to find available space.

  • How do I DISABLE text message forwarding between my iPad and iPhone?

    I want to DISABLE text forwarding from my iPhone 5 (IOS 8.1.1) to my IPad 4 (IOS 8.1.1) but....I have already tried the following (so PLEASE do not make these suggestions):
    I want to be able to text from my iPhone and those text messages (either SMS or iMessage) NOT go to my iPad.  BUT, I want to also text from my iPad and those messages NOT go to my iPhone.  I want the text messages to stay on each device independently. 
    Since I still want to be able to text from my iPad, I do NOT want to turn off iMessage.  If I turn off iMessage, I cannot text from my iPad.
    I disabled HANDOFF
    I disabled TEXT MESSAGE FORWARDING (from my iPhone)
    Creating a new Apple ID is not an option since there is other data that I need between devices.
    Having followed these steps, I still cannot stop the texts from forwarding between devices.  Any ideas?

    On your iPad, can you deselect your phone number as an option in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at and then add an email address at which you can be reached? My iPod Touch is set up to use an email address (I have 6 email accounts) and the messages on my iPod do not sync with my other devices.
    I Do have to say that it has been ages since I set up the Touch for Messages, but I am running iOS 8 on it. I can't remember if I had to sign out of messages and start all over again on the touch in order to deselect the iPhone number.
