Is there a way to block someone from sending Text Messages ONLY?

I would like to block a family member from sending text messages but I do not want to restrict calling abilities in case of an emergency.
I have gone to My Verizon>>Safeguards but this option only seems to allow you to block on an "All or Nothing" basis.
Is there a way to prevent someone from sending you text messages while still allowing phone calls?

Thanks for your response. I have an I Phone (I Messages) but the party that I want to block does not have an I Phone.

TS2755 i need to know how to block someone from sending me txt/imessges and calling me. they have a iphone too so i have been told the only way to block them is to turn off my imessages and only recieve regular txt messages. is there another way to block

how do u block someone from sending imessages and txt and calling ur phone when they have a iphone also. I have been told the only way is to turn off my imessages and recieve regular text messages.. is there another way?? i have searched for apps and cant find one. neeed help!!!

There are no apps and that is not a feature of iOS.
iMessages are handled by Apple's own system, and there is no way to block a specific sender.
SMS messages and voice calls are handled by your cell service provider, so you need to ask them what blocking (if any) features they offer. If the texts are just spam, you should be able to report them to your carrier and they can block that sender. Other blocking options will vary from carrier to carrier, so call yours and ask them what they can do.

Is there any way to block someone on Yahoo! IM?

I keep getting spam from people on Yahoo! Instant Messenger. The only solutions I can find on Google involve downloading the official Y!IM client and using that to block the person (add to the ignore list).
Is there any way to block someone within the messages app?

Hi,
You can in the Yahoo for Mac app (This has been in Beta for literally years)
It seems that the iChat and Messages Beta Yahoo part is a sort of Bolt-On (it is actually a Plug-in) that does Text Chatting only and not much else (it can go Invisible)
It seems it lacks some other functions that the Yahoo for Mac App has such as blocking people.

Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad ?

Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad?

there are parental control apps you can look into. Such as McGruff. You block safari in restrictions then use the mcgruff app. Or you can look into your router and see what settings you can change there.
Also, depending on your service provider, some give you free access to content control.

Is there a way to stop email from sending read receipts?

Is there a way to stop email from sending read receipts?
Even though my setting in outlook 2010 is "never send read receipts".
Thank you.

as far as i understand iCal it is on the "receivers/subscribers" side to deal with email-updates (and not on the "senders/changers" side):
snippet from my Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events?:
to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

Is there any way i can recieve my sons text messages on my phone

i have a 14 year old son is there any way i can recieve the same text messages on my phone as he gets

I see no reason to think this would not be legal.
Your son is not old enough to enter into a cell phone agreement with Verizon, so I assume YOU are the account owner. There is no law keeping you from putting an app on YOUR phone to track the texting history from YOUR phone. Whether or not he will be able to notice this app running in the background and disabling it is another matter entirely.
If you are unable to find/use an app for such a task, then what mdram4x4's suggestion is the only way. Of course, if your son only has a basic phone, the chance for an app which would do this is not very likely.

Is there a way to block applications from opening unwanted tabs?

Is there a way to block applications (or at least wait for user permission) from opening unwanted tabs? (like those annoying "Welcome to ..." or "You've successfully installed..." after installing/uninstalling a program, or even a Firefox addon).
I just don't want Firefox opening tabs that I did not directly intended to open.
Also, I've installed AdBlock Plus and Pop-up blocker is enabled, but still some websites allow pop-ups. How can I completely disable opening all stand-alone windows?
Thanks in advance! :D

What you are talking about is built into the install programs.
Firefox has no direct control over them.

I have blocked someone from calling/texting me. How do I keep them from knowing?

I have blocked some from calling/texting me. Is it possible to make it so they don't know? I don't want them to hear the message or receive a text stating that their number is blocked.

Punky45, we totally understand your need to be discreet about this. With the call and messaging block feature, you will be able to add 10 digit phone numbers from sending you text messages and calling your device. No reply message advising that their phone number will be sent. However, there will be an automated message that advises that this caller is unable to accept incoming calls.

Is there any way I can download my received text messages to my computer

I have a BB 8830 World Edition. Is they any way I can download my received text messages to my computer. If so, how? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To backup/store your messages use Blackberry Desktop Manager software.
Connect your device to the PC.
Run the Blackberry Desktop Manager
Select "Backup and Restore" icon on the application window
Click on "Advanced" button and select the information that has to be stored.
When backup completes - there is a *.ipd file on your computer created. It contains all necessary information.
Later you can write information from this file to the blackberry device with the same mechanism.
For now there is no such a standard application to read stored messages on PC Computer.
Try to find third-party applications for that purpose.

IPhone 4S does everything apart from send text messages

Yesterday my new 16GB iPhone 4S arrived and I upgrade my simcard from normal sim to micro-sim. Since using it, it can do everything related to data (internet, iMessage etc.), it can make calls and receive texts but it just won't send text messages (red exclimation mark after a few seconds of sending) and I don't understand why. Ive tried turning iMessage off and sending it that way, still with no luck. I find his extremely strange as I can receive text message perfectly fine (in green bubbles, so they're definitely not iMessages). I've phoned O2 but they don't think it's a fault at their end. The only thing they can think of is if their masts are down. Yet I have a friend on the same network sending text messages without fail.
Hopefully someone can help as this is driving me nuts.

You're welcome.
Then call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Captivate 5: is there a way to prevent someone from taking the quiz, without going through the conte

Hi.
Is there a way in Captivate 5 to prevent someone from clicking on the quiz to take it, without having gone through the content?
CB.

Hi.
Regarding preventing someone from taking the quiz without going through the content...
I decided to separate the quiz out of the project as a separate item.
We are going to use a Learning Management System which will house the module to control the access.
The LMS can be set to not allow people to click on the Quiz link, until they have gone through the content. (So they cannot by-pass the content and just do the quiz).
I was trying to find a way to control this from within Captivate 5 and keep people from being able to click on the quiz without going through the content. (And keep the quiz inside the original project).
However, this LMS solution will work for this module.
Thanks everyone!

Is there a way to block Firefox from closing while files are downloading? I don't want to accidentally quit the program and cut off current downloads.

Basically, I was downloading a game from Game Agent and I accidentally quit Firefox. This stopped the download and I was not allowed to resume it, forcing me to spend $30 to buy the same game AGAIN to get a new download file. Is there a way to add a warning box to Firefox that says something like: "Are you sure you want to quit Firefox? Files are downloading" when I try to quit?

Untested, but according to http://www.phil.im/2011/04/27/how-to-enable-firefox-download-warning-on-quit/ set browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 in about:config

Is there any way to block calls from "blocked number"

I would like to be able to block calls from numbers that show up in my caller ID as "Blocked". I dont really care who they are I want them to share their number or I dont' want them to call. Is there anyway to do this? I am not talking about the restricted numbers just the ones that people have chosen to block. They can all do the *## and unblock their number when they call my phone if they really want me to answer it!

Nothing annoys me more than receiving a blocked call, barnmother! The good news is that we have an option to prevent these calls from reaching your phone. Usage Controls will allow you to block unwanted calls and much more. Select the link for details...https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/safeguards/SafeguardProductDetails.action?productName=usagecontrols I hope this helps! Have a great weekend!

Is there a way to delete and acess iPhone text messages from the computer?

I lost my iPhone and someone else has it. I would like to delete everything from it because there is no pass code on it. Is there a way to do that online?

Hi kennedysekanina,
You can wipe your phone if you had Find My iPhone enabled on it, and if it is still online. You would do this through your iCloud account by logging onto it at iCloud.com
Cheers,
