I am getting text messages from a "textfree" number that cannot be identified

I am getting text messages from a "textfree" number that cannot be identified. The text messages are threatening and I am trying to match the unknown number to a person. How can I do that?

Hello uncl@home,
Thanks for reaching out to us for assistance with unwanted texts on your device. After all, we're always here to help when you need us. I wanted to touch bases with you to see if the issue has been resolved. Just curious, are you getting unwanted texts from a 10-digit number? If so then you can have the texts blocked at www.vzw.com/spamcontrols. For all other unwanted texts, forwarding them to 7726 is the method to have them addressed. Let me know, just in case more options are needed.
Thank you...

  • I set up my sons ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my iphone

    I set up my son's ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my Iphone.  How can I set up Imessage from his email account instead of my email/phone #?

    You can go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and uncheck the phone number and delete your email address. You can add his own email address. The only way to delete the phone number is to use an Apple ID for Messages that is not associated with an iPhone. You can change it by Go to Settings>Messages>Apple ID and sign out and sign in with the other ID

    Both of yall need to go to settings, meassages, send and recieve, scroll down to start new conversation from, and make sure you have different email addresses with a check mark beside it. Right now sounds like they are the same email addresses.

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

    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).

  • My bill show text messages from my cell number sent to my cell number what is that about

    MMy bill shows text messages from my cell number sent to my number what does that mean

    Jackie, this usually happens when the number that was texting you was blocked or  unavailable.  The billing system uses your own number as sort of a placeholder. It could be another reason, but as far as I know, that's the reason.

  • Getting Text Messages from old iPhone Back Up into New iPhone

    I kind of messed up when I got my new iPhone 4S and instead of making sure all my conversations and apps were synced properly over to my new iPhone, I basically just wiped out all my stuff from my old iPhone and lost all my app settings.  Fortunately all my contacts and stuff were saved in my back up so I still have all my Text Messages, but they are in my old back up and I have used my new iphone for a while now so it also has a bunch of texts and stuff that I want to hold onto. 
    Is there any way that I can merge my old text messages from my old back up with the new text messages from my new "back up"?  Or basically save my old text messages and then load them back onto my phone?  Cause basically at this point I am restoring back and forth when I need info from my old text messages and then setting back to my current settings when I'm done.

    Sorry, no.

    No...one or the other...you either restore from your old backup or your new backup.

  • I switchedfrom an Iphone to an android and now I cant get text messages from I phones

  • I used to have a IPhone3 about three years ago, unfortunately i do not have it anymore. My question is is there a way to obtain deleted text messages from my phone number from a short period of time before i got rid of my phone?

    About three years ago in 1012 I had an iphone3 sent and deleted text messages of course and as of now those text messages are needed for an upcoming court case i will be involved with. So is there any way to retrieve those text messages from three years ago. I am just in need of the text messages from February 2012 on. So its about 6 to 10 months of texts. what do I have to do to get them back if possible???

    As the others noted, if you don't have any older iTunes backups then the deleted messages would not be recoverable. The free trial of Decipher TextMessage will show you if there are any text messages in your older backups that can be recovered.

  • I cannot reply to a text message from a specific number

    I have an ATT family plan with my daughters. I have an iPhone and they have Blackberrys. If I start a new text message from scratch and send it to one of them they get it. But if I try to reply to a text message they sent me I get an error code asking me to specify a valid 10 digit phone number.

    Hi,
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1291 provides general tips that should resolve the issue.
    On the iPhone, go to Contacts> your daughters contact that you see the issue with> modify the contact and make sure it has a 10 digit contact number.
    Then go to SMS on the iPhone> messages at the top left> Edit> tap the - near the conversation with the problem> Delete.

  • Getting text messages from your computer

    I left my phone at home today and I feel like its the end of the world. Is there a way I can set it up where I can get my text messages sent to my computer where I am at now until I get home? Kinda like call forwarding but text forwarding?

        Hi Chuck-Stick,
    I was recently without my phone and felt so lost. Let's see what we can do for you. I do apologize for the delay in responding. You can go to www.vtext.com and log in and send and receive messages via our site.  We have also added a new feature that is awesome! It's called Verizon Messages, if you have an Android phone or even an iPad you can download the app and get your messages on multiple devices. Here is a link.http://vz.to/1aOnfRS Keep us posted if you need anything else.
    Thanks, BobbyS_VZW

  • Can I recover text messages from an old Iphone that has now been wiped? Some of my messages got lost in between the process of turning my old phone in for a new one-which I have since restored from a backup a few days old

    In the process of exchanging my defunct Iphone for a new one, some important text messages were lost. The messages obviously did not transfer over to my new phone as I had to restore my new phone from a backup performed a few days ago. Is there a special trick that will allow me to somehow enter my cell number, since it is still the same, in order to recover texts that were received in between wiping my old phone and getting a new one?

    You can use an iPhone file explorer such as TouchCopy to get the messages off the old phone. But you can't put them on the new phone as messages. You could put them in a pdf file that you could read on the new phone.
    Normally when you get a new phone the first thing you should do is transfer the contents of the old phone to it (Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support)). Then the problem does not arise. You are even prompted to do this when you activate the new phone. Once you have started using the new phone without doing this it is too late.
    To tell Apple your concern go to http://apple.com/feedback. This is a user to user forum; Apple does not read or participate in it.

  • I have a new MacBook Pro.  I keep getting the message (from all different programs) that they would like to access the keychain "login".  I have run keychain repair, and it won't stop!

    I have a new MacBook Pro.  I keep getting the message "Mail would like to use your keychain "login".  How can I make this stop?  I have run the keychain repair utility.

    Hi,
    With the Finder as the Front app go to the Go Menu > GO to Folder.
    Copy and Paste the bold text below into the text field
    ~/Library/Keychains
    Highlight the Keychain.
    Use the CMD + i Keys together (Keystrokes for Get Info from the File Menu)
    In the Info Panel that appears check the Ownership and Permission bit at the bottom.
    Example Pic
    Unlock Padlock
    Check your Shortmname Appears (the (Me) one).
    Open the Cogwheel icon
    If it is Greyed Out to "Make "Shortname (Me)" owner then you are the Owner.
    Check you have Read and Write Permissions.
    You may need to check the Ownership and Permission on the ~/Library itself (you can do the same Get Info on Folders as well as Files)
    If you don't Own it then, when you have changed that also Apply to Contents.

  • Can receive text messages from Verizon customer, but they cannot see mine

    I have a friend that sends me text messages. I get them every time. But when I reply, or send her messages, they never go through. I have the same problem with another friend on Verizon. They said Verizon told them it's an iPhone issue. I think I have the older iPhone and not the 3G or 3GS (how do I figure out what version I have?).
    Need help. Thanks!

    i dont know what the problem is, however i can help u figure out which iphone u have.
    if ur iphones back is chrome, u have the original iphone, if ur iphone is black or white on the back u have the 3G and if u can take video by going to ur camera and sliding the slider from photo to video u have a 3GS (this one will also be black or white)
