I have premium messaging blocked but I'm still getting short code spam?

So lately I have been getting short code messages (271-26) for some company called "Lango" bothering me to download their crappy (a probably virus-laden) software on my iPhone. I have premium messaging blocked on my account as well as web and email message blocking, but these people are still getting through! I'm up to my eyeballs with frustration and all Verizon can tell me is to "reply stop". Really? I have an umbrella block on all this crap so why is it getting through in the first place? Is anyone else having this same issue?

That is a great point that Ann154 has mentioned.
Have you been able to confirm whether or not the messages are iMessages or not?

I have my popups blocked and have also added Adblock but I'm still getting popup windows FROM firefox constantly. Very annoying.

I've have tried researching it online but I just hear the same things over and over and they are helping. The popups are coming from Firefox and say Firefox in the corner. How do I get rid of them? I've been really happy with Firefox until now.

hello, you have various adware addons installed, that might cause this. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Premium Message Blocking - What does recipient and sender see?

I recently blocked all texts that could come via a website or PC under the Verizon Safeguards link because I was receiving harrassing texts, and I am wondering what would I see if someone were to attempt to send me a text from their email or website? I also am interested in what the sender would see on their end after attempting to send the text.
Since changing this setting to block these types of texts, I have recently been receiving texts that say the following:
"Premium Messaging to this mobile number has been blocked. Only the account owner may request a change to this setting with his/her wireless provider". Is this message an alert to me that someone has attempted to sent me a text????
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

Yes, the message you received from VZW was to inform you that a premium message was sent to your mobile number, but it didn't come through because the block is enabled.
If a VZW customer attempts to send you a premium message, they will get this message(the subscriber (Mobile Directory Number) has Premium Messaging Block enabled.).
If you make an attempt to send a premium message, you will get this message(Premium Messaging to this mobile number has been blocked. Only the Account Owner may request a change to this setting with his/her wireless service provider.).

I have an iPhone 4 but when I block a number it still gets through

So I really want to block this number, I don't want to talk to this guy anymore. He's just bothering me and I want nothing to do with him. I blocked him before and it worked but it isn't working now. I have the iPhone 4 and he has an iPhone also but not sure which one. I know he doesn't have verizon.
Why won't it let me block him for the 90 day period? It says you can block up to 5 numbers for free. How can I fix it? Thanks for your help, I really want this number blocked.

If they are still getting through using text messages, you should probably turn off your iMessages or change the settings for it to use only your phone number and not your Apple ID for transmitting the messages over the data connection.

What exactly do you mean by the statement that you have reset your Apple ID and password. I am not familiar with being able to reset and Apple ID.

Why is it they claim to sell you something they do NOT intend on allowing you access to for the life of your account?
It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.

I switched to Galaxy and I cannot get my messages from I-phone users. I still have my ipad mini but I need to get my messages on my phone...Help!

as robdrage says - they will need to send txts, not imessages. And if you have not already done so - log into apple dot com and get to your profile / device list, and remove the phone. If apple thiks the device is active, and the phone number is the same, it will continue to intercept and misdirect messages.
take a look at this - near the end i how to do it at apple.com (it is not real clear on the web page)

Is there ANYWAY to get rid of this bug..or does Apple Mac come with a defect....is this happening for other people, can someone please check, I asked my friend it comes for her too, but way less results, and sometimes when she resets safari hers goes away for the moment, and comes back later when u search...hmmm strange...

Photoshop CS 4 says to update my drivers. Then every time I try to start a new file, it crashes. I have updated my drivers, but it is still happening.

Photoshop CS4 is telling me I need to update my graphics drivers. When I try to start a new file, it crashes. I have updated my drivers, but it is still happening. Please help as I cannot use the software at all at this point and I desperately need it. I am using a HP desk top with Windows Vista Home Premium with a NVIDIA graphics card.

See if HP has a different update. It may be proprietary, specific to your machine.

HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

I have upgraded to 6, but home page still says I am not on latest version.

I have upgraded 2 times but home page still says I am not on the latest version.

What do you have set as your homepage? The default Firefox homepage wouldn't have a message like that. Plus, you posted here with Firefox 6.0 - the latest release version.

I have premium messaging blocked but I'm still getting short code spam?
