  • What does it mean if I get blank text messages from someone but they are not coming from number they appear and disappear they are not coming over the network also emails have been moved around, has my phone been hacked?

    I Have been getting blank texts from a number, but the person who owns the niumber is not sending them, they appear then disappear, they are not coming over the network, they come even though number has been black listed, also emails have been moved, I believe by someone who is cyberstalking me but don't know how to prove it, what can I do ?

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

  • 'imessage' turned off and not getting some texts message

    Hi
    I have turned 'imessage off on my iphone 5.. Now im not getting some texts messages from people.
    I have had it turn off all the time as i run a group text app. I did the current 'software update' and it turned imessage back on. I didnt realise for a few days. I have now turned it off. BUT now im not receiving some peoples texts??? any ideas what to do??
    Thanks

    Those messages are probably queued up waiting to be delivered
    Try turning iMessage on for a brief period and see what happens
    If you permanently want to not use iMessage you should consider de registering your number

  • What is the best product to retrieve deleted text messages from someones phone that are a month old

    What is the best product to use to retrieve deleted text messages from someones phone a month ago?

    The only way to retrieve a deleted text message would be to restore a backup created after the message was sent but prior to the message being deleted.
    There may be programs that can extract this information directly from the backup files themselves, google for possible solutions.

  • Can not get mail and  messages from old phone to my new phone

    can not get my mail and text messages transferred from my old Verizon Droid x2 to my LG Optimus  what's the process

        lock321, Let's get your information transferred! Text messages do not transfer from device to device unless you have backed the text messages up with an application on your Droid X2. Do you recall backing your text messages up using our  Verizon Cloud http://vz.to/1BkRU5Tor another 3rd party app? Emails usually transfer over once you add your email account information into the LG Optimus. http://vz.to/1BkRYCK

  • Can text messages be deleted before they are read?

    After writing a text message to several recipients I realized I had the wrong date on it.  Since none of the messages have been read yet, am I able to delete the entire text message?

    Once you tap "send" they are confined to the ether and you cannot get them back.  What I often do is not fill in the "to" field in my messages and emails until I am satisfied that the message is correct. After that I fill that field and that way I cannot accidentally send the message before I am ready.  Sometimes I compose a message/email and wait until the next day and review and decide whether I still want to send.... sometimes I decide not to send.
