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)))

    How to block calls & texts from one telephone number

    Call number blocking is done only by the carrier. Some carriers allow users to input numbers to be blocked on a website.
    Verizon allows users to list up to five numbers to be blocked for free for 90 days by entering them in the users My Verizon site. I've found that 90 days has been sufficient to discourage most nuisance calls. But Verizon also provides a service ( for a fee) that will permanently block a number.
    So contact your carrier to see what they offer.

  • How do i block texts from a number on my iphone?

    How do I block texts from a number on my iPhone? My service provider use a safety net but not available for iPhone. tried downloading iblacklist manager but it wouldn't download. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Firstly in order to download iblacklist you are required to jailbreak your iPhone. If you jailbreak your iPhone, under the Terms of Use of this forum it is prohibited to discuss jail breaking and you will void any warranty you may have, forfeit any support from this forum, leave your iPhone vulnerable to malware and risk bricking your iPhone should you attempt future software updates or restoring your iPhone. I strongly advise you against going down this route.
    As for blocking SMS, I am not aware it can done.  Your network carrier maybe able to help blocking numbers, some offer this support, naturally others do not.  Other more techy minded users on here maybe able to offer more accurate advice with regards to SMS blocking.

  • Verizon allowing spam texts from obvious bad emails

    So how many of you got a spam text from [email protected], with the x's being the first 10 digits of your cell phone number, last night?
    It says it's from Bank of America and to call 575-904-7333.
    A few months ago I got one from 999-999-9999 and another time I got a text spam from "9".
    Obviously Verizon could easily stop these types of spam text but either 1. Verizon is making money on them. 2. It's an inside job 3. both 1 and 2.
    C'mon Verizon. Is your system really that stupid? I doubt it.

    You can also go into your MyVerizon account online and block all text messages from the Web to prevent the majority of those types of messages from ever reaching your phone.

  • Move a block of text from one document to another

    How to make a script moving a block of text from a defined area to next document?

    Here is the beast.
    --[SCRIPT exportTextBlocks]
    Save the script as a Script, an Application or an Application Bundle: exportTextBlocks.xxx
    Move the newly created application into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
    Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
    select something in the source document
    menu Scripts > Pages > exportTextBlocks
    creates a new Pages document with the chunks of texts which where delimited by the markers.
    --=====
    The Finder's Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
    Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

  • Not receiving texts from one number

    As of Saturday, between the time of 4:00pm and 4:30, my phone decided to not receive texts from one number, which is an AT&T number.  It was working before, and ever since then, it hasnt been able to receive texts from said number or send them to the number.  I havent been able to get texts from the number either, and we both dont know why.
    The thing is, I am getting texts perfectly fine from everyone else that I usually text.
    I cant figure out if the number is blocked, because I am not the main owner of the family plan that I am on.

    Hello haruharasanako,
    It's strange that you are having text imessaging issues with one contact. I use text messaging all the time and I am here to help!  Do you have issues sending or receiving text messages to anyone else? Can you send and receive picture messages from this contact? Are you using a 3rd party messaging app? If so, please uninstall and trying using the stock messaging app. Which device are you using? Did you make sure the account owner didn't have this number blocked? Did the contact check with AT&T to see if your number is blocked? Please answer these questions so I can resolve this issue for you.                  
    Thanks,

  • How To Block a User From Changing Total Field In AR Invoice

    Hi all,
    I would like to find out how to block a user from being able to change the total field at the bottom right hand side of the AR Invoice.  Currently if a user creates an invoice and is still busy in that invoice they can adjust the total field which in turn will update the discount field as well.
    Is this simply an authorization issue or am I going to have to do it in the transaction notification?
    We are using SAP Business One PL 30 currently.

    Hi
    Please review by note again -This is by system design .
    I don't know why you are so worried abt this because by setting up discount max ,if user cannot post the document ,that means it is not in the system ,no matter they change multiple times in the fields .
    But I think your scenario is different ,
    You are copying with certain discount from Delivery to AR invoice and i think you don't want user to change the discount field , then you can solve your issue by using approval or sp_notification
    If you really want it to be greyed out ,I think you might have to go through by SDK or Boyum addon.
    Thank you

  • How do I copy text from one layer to  another?

    I have Googled this but not a single answer seems to work.
    I am using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.6.7.
    OK, so  I  have a layer that  has some text in it.  I would like to  be able to  simply copy that  text  from one layer  to  another, but this seems to  be impossible as the Edit Paste menu item is grayed out after I have copied it in to the clipboard.  I can paste it into  the SAME layer, but not into another layer.
    This is how I am trying to  do  this.
    In the layer  with the text, click on the "T" icon to  the left.
    Click on the text, in the layer that I  want to  copy. 
    I select the text (either  by  clicking and dragging or pressing Command-A).
    Next I press Command-C.
    Then I  click on the layer In the Layer Panel) where I want to  paste the text.
    Pressing Command-V is impossible because the Edit-Paste menu option is grayed out!!!!
    WHY??????
    Perhaps more importantly, HOW do I copy text  from one layer to  another?

    First thing you can simply right click on the Text Layer and choose Duplicate Layer.  But that will create a new Text Lay
    er identical to the one you have.
    To answer your question in your case....  Create the Text Layer.   Make a New Layer.  Or have the layer you want to paste into visible.
    Highlight the text layer in the Layer Palette and Ctrl+Click (Win) Cmd+Click(Mac) so that you see marching ants walking around your text.
    Edit>Copy.
    Then highlight your Layer you want to paste into and hit Edit>Paste or Cmd+V / Ctrl+V.

    Look under:
    System preferences > Network > WiFi > ( Advanced ) > DNS
    System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > ( Advanced ) > DNS
    There should be two or more IP addresses there.
    Those addresses should be EXACTLY the ones your current ISP provided when you signed up for service. They do not start with 85 or 86 -- those are hacker sites.
    If you are in the US, you could also use OpenDNS:

    You will need to export the text from Indesign as either .rtf or .doc files and import those.

    iMessages are deleted from the iMessages servers as soon as that are accepted by the device they were sent to.
    Essentially they are duplicated if you have more than one device and each then gets it's own "Copy" as they are push to each registered device based on unique login info.
    Therefore there is is no simple "Download" old iMessages.
    SMS items are also unlikely to be kept by the servers.
