Kin One data block - text message warning - Free VZW Msg...

I just got a Kin Onem to give as a gift to my daughter.  I subscribed to the minimum mandatory $1.99/MB data plan, intending to disable data on the phone to keep the cost low and use the phone as a feature phone, with occasional WiFi data use.
In the Service block settings on the MyVerizonWireless web page, I turned off all the services that will cost money, including the "Block All Data Services". I did leave the "Block Picture and Video Messaging" block off (allowing those).
Now, about every 4-5 hours, I get a text from Verizon on the phone that says "Free VZW Msg. Your msg/request was blocked and not delivered. Only the account holder can change your settings to allow access privileges".
I did a reset on the phone, so there are no e-mail accounts setup on it.  I thought maybe I had set something up on it that required data, but even if I do a reset and put the phone in a drawer and not touch it at all, it will still get the messages every 4-5 hours.
Anyone run into this yet?  Any ideas to fix it?

that's really annoying... I blocked everything as you did, but didn't get a single msg as you mentioned...

  • Block Text Messaging

    Just in case some of you, like me, did not subscribe to a text messaging plan, you can call At&t and have them modify your account to block text messaging. If you don't block them, each one your receive or send will cost $0.20. They said that any text messages sent by at&t will still get through and those would be free. I just put the block on my account.

    Good advice. I may do that. Once in a while I get an unintended text. And I never use texting. Thanks!

    If you are trying to block text messages from a ten digit number and you have the ten digits number you can add the free Call & Messaging Block to your line. With this block you can block up to 5 numbers. 
    Call and Message Blocking are free features that assist consumer postpaid customers in blocking unwanted calls and messages from specific numbers on a short-term basis. Customers can manage it themselves and make changes whenever necessary by accessing www.vzw.com/spamcontrols. 
    The number will remain blocked for 90 days. If you need to continue blocking the number after the 90 days you will need to add the number back to the block list.
    If you are trying to block text messages from a short code number you can add the free Premium SMS block to your line via your My Verizon account. You can also reply to the message you are receiving with the word STOP. You will receive a confirmation text advising that you have been unsubscribed from the Premium SMS.
    Thanks
    John
    PLEASE consider this a feature request -- we NEED to be able to block SMS by 5- and 6-digit codes, not just 10-digit phone numbers.  Since many of us pay by the message, not being able to block individual "Premium SMS" services is probably something you legally need to provide.

  • How to enter the data into data block text item which has an LOV associated

    Hi,
    I have a data block, one of the data block text item has an LOV assigned. when I populate this text item using the LOV and do "execute_query", it is taking the value in the text item and adding it to the search criteria, but when I enter a value manually in that text item and do "execute_query" it is showing me an alert(which I created) "Please enter a value".
    My question is, why is not taking the value that I enter manually? Looks like before executing the query, this field is getting empty
    How to avoid this problem and make sure that the value entered in the text item is added in the where clause of the query?
    Any advice?
    Thanks in advance
    R.G

    Problem solved!
    Before doing execute-query, all the text items are being cleared,so I used a global variable to store that value
    Thanks anyway

  • How to block text messages but not calls from a specific number

    I want to block text messages from my father but not his phone calls. Is there a way to do this? I have an iPhone 5, but don't want to upgrade to IOS7 yet.
    Thanks!

        You have a fantastic phone, joy3141. I double checked features for the iPhone 5 and confirmed there's not a way to block messages from a specific contact without blocking calls too. Our Call & Message Blocking http://vz.to/MqEgqB is a great way to block unwanted contact from specific numbers, but it would block both calls & messages. If your dad is on your account and you're hoping to block all of his text messages to or from anyone, there is a text message block available at www.vzw.com/serviceblocks you can add to his line.
    Thank you

  • Is there anyway to manage my contacts or an app so that I can temporarily block text messages at certain times of the day?

    Hi,
    I am wanting to block text messaging that I sometimes receive from clients after hours, and I want to know is there an app like there is for android phones that has lists that you can create so certain people can be sent an auto reply when they send you a message?
    I don't want to block the numbers completely just at weekends and/or after hours and I still want to be able to receive phone calls from those numbers as an option.
    I am on the Vodafone NZ network
    Thanks

    You can Remote Lock his iPad with Find My iPad using a computer at whatever time you like.

  • IMessage with Blocked Text Messaging

    I'm wanting to call AT&T and have them officially block text messages. I'm tired of unwanted messages costing me an additional 3 - 5 dollars a month. If I have text messaging blocked... will iMessage still work, even with my phone number?
    Thanks
    Brad

    Yes, but if iMessage is not available at the time - Apple's iMessage servers are temporarily down or having problems at the time and the recipient is not an iDevice user running iOS 5 or later, you won't be able to exchange messages.

  • Is "Free VZW Msg" legit?

    Last night I received a text from "Free VZW Msg" offering an upgrade to my plan and all I have to do is reply "YES" to accept.  I want to accept the offer but wanted to confirm it is a legit offer from Verizon.

    It may help to know what the message was or what the plan upgrade was to see if anyone else has gotten a similar offer.
    For what it is worth, whenever I get a text notification my bill is ready, it comes as "VZW FREE MSG" not "Free VZW Msg" as yours came. The number it comes from is 900080003498. Whether the wording changes or the number it comes from changes depending what department it comes from(billing or sales) I couldn't say.

  • Can I block text messages from 0000727272, 0000555444, and other such messaging?

    My wife is receiving text messages from and sometimes replies to 0000727272, 0000555444, and other message numbers that do not correspond to a phone number.  I believe she is having an affair and I need it to stop.  I want to block these numbers and the other such 5 and 6 digit numbers from texting her phone.  How do I go about doing this?  In addition, is there anyway to determine who these messages are from?  Can customer service tell me who is texting her?  She is on my account.  I have tried to look at her phone but she always deletes the messages from these numbers.  Thanks.

    These are simply SMS short codes. 727272 is for Redbox. Not sure about 555444.
    Regardless, this would certainly be an expensive way to have an affair. Short codes cost $500/month to get a number picked at random. To get one of your choosing, assuming it is available, is $1000/month.
    Normally, these are for businesses in order to sign up for their services/promotions. For instance, texting "freebies" to 727272 will get you coupons for Redbox.

  • LG G2 block text message black/white list ???

    K, I just got the LG G2 the other day and say that when you go to block a text message there is a black and white list.
    What are the differences?

        Dizzybandit, I want to make sure that we are getting you the correct information. I'm not exactly finding where this list is at. Can you please tell me where you see this? Are you going into Messaging (the Green smiley face conversation bubble)?  Or are you using a different application? We really want to get to the bottom of this ASAP.

  • COMMIT_FORM  per one DATA BLOCK at a time

    Hi,
    Please guide for the following:
    I have 3 data blocks (tabular) on 3 tables, with three radio buttons on the form. I want to insert records in a table as per the radio button value:
    For example
    (1) if user has selected rdbtn1 then COMMIT_FORM must insert record in table 1 only.
    (2) if user has selected rdbtn2 then COMMIT_FORM must insert record in table 2 only.
    (2) if user has selected rdbtn3 then COMMIT_FORM must insert record in table 3 only.
    Is it possible with COMMIT_FORM, if so, how, please guide.
    Regards.

    Here is the fundamental problem. The Commit_Form built-in will save all pending transactions in the entire Forms session. Therefore, in order to save incrementally (one block out of many) you have to use autonomous transactions. In essence you have to create a new session, perform your changes and save the changes outside of the current Forms session. This is typically done using Dynamic SQL. However, you can’t use the EXECUTE_IMMEDIATE Native Dynamic SQL (NDS) command in Forms. You could use FORMS_DDL (which allows you to execute dynamic SQL from Forms) but Forms_DDL issues an implicit COMM IT which will COMMI T the entire Forms Session. Therefore, the best way to accomplish this would be to call a database procedure that uses NDS to perform the needed DML and issue the COMM IT.
    The other alternative would be to do what I think "user8937305" is suggesting; depending on the Radio Button selected, you clear the other two data blocks so only the data in the selected data block (radio button) is saved through the FORMS_C OMMIT.
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)
    If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

  • Turning cellular data= no text messages received?

    My wife and I have try to preserve data by turning it off the cellular data from time to time.Could this be the reason we don't receive texts from each other but from other people?

    Yes.
    If your message/conversation thread is blue, you're messaging one another using iMessage (which only uses data) rather than standard SMS which appears in green (and relies on your texting plan).
    iMessage is an entirely optional feature.
    You can disable cellular data per application if you prefer, in Settings > Cellular > "Use Cellular For" --
    and/or you can disable iMessage in Settings > Messages > iMessage, to reduce data usage but still text.
