Profane SMS messages from an unknown sender

I am receiving horrible messages from 75973 (Skype) and have no idea who is sending them. How do I find out who the sender is?

Go to this link and make sure you sign in to my verizon. Under preferences you have the ability to block names, numbers, or even whole domains. You can also make it that only text messages to your alias you choose can text you. And block texts from web pages. https://web.vma.vzw.com/vtext/guest/Dashboard.do
You could also block the number under the 5 free (90 day) blocks from Verizon Wireless web portal. http://www.verizonwireless.com
Good luck

I am trying to find information about a type of message I received on my iPhone. It appears as the message only on my locked screen, I must press on the green Dismiss icon at the bottom and the message disappears and then I can unlock my phone with passcode and use phone. This message stays there until I press Dismiss. It shows no sender or where it came from but is being sent to my phone number. Only a message the sender intends me to read shows on the screen then once dismissed, it disappears and does not show up or save in any application on my phone. Any ideas?

Send and Receive SMS messages from US to South Kor...

I want to be able to receive and send SMS messages from my skype to my friend's cell phone in Korea
When I send it they receive it, but they can't respond it back to me because it is an international text.
Is there anyway that I can buy a Korean online number when I'm living in US?
and with that number will I be able to talk and send/receive messages with my friend?

@ sberman -Hi-I have my settings as you described and I do have a text msg. plan with At&T. I'm still puzzled, however; I had the same plan with he former phone-the ancient 3Gs and with it, I was able to send/receive text, photos, etc. to non-Iphone users via WiFi as long as I was home and within distance of the connection. I did not have to have my cell data "on" in order to send/receive anything. Everything transmitted through WiFi-and did not impact my charges or cell data limits.. I know I must use the cell data ON when I'm away, but don't understand why/how I can't do the same as before I upgraded to the 5c. Admittedly, I am certainly NOT in the stratospheric league as so many phone experts here-I do make the attempt to understand, though..
I read on one of the numerous help/answer sites that apparently someone else had registered the same complaint with Apple and now has a pending lawsuit-and hoping to get class-action status on the issue. I'm fairly sure this is the same-although I cannot be 100% certain given my lack of expertise.
I certainly appreciate your rapid response-as a newbie to these communities, I didn't expect any answers to my questions so quickly.Thanks for taking the time to post-have a great weekend.

How do i send sms messages from my mac to a phone

the gurl from apple said i could send sms messages from my imac to a phone. How do i di that?

Hi Lanny,
Actually those two pics don't tell you what you need to know.
The First is correct as it can be from the Messages app but the second goes to no way to tell you how to do and b fact does not even mention SMS messages.
@ 10411
You will need to have an AIM or AIM Valid name that you can add to the Messages > Preferences > Accounts at the + icon below the list.
Next the Mac need to be in the United States.
Go to System Preferences > Language and Text and set the Region to the Untied States.
(In iChat this added SMS items to some of the Menus in iChat)
The iPhone has to be on a Carrier that is in the United States See list
Which in turn means the phone number is a United States one (+1 country code)
This means you add the Cell/mobile number as if it were a Buddy to an AIM list.
So Creating an Address Card for "SMS Test" and adding the mock number +1234567890 to that I get this in Messages (Mousing over the Name to see the "Screen Name" which is the number in this case)
Basically this is a feature that iChat has always had since AIM included a link to SMS to certain Phones.
Messages does everything iChat did/does and this includes SMS Messaging via an AIM Buddy list even though in this case the Menu items has disappeared.
AS has been said there are also other methods.

Problem sending a SMS message from mobile phone t809

Hello!
I am trying to send a SMS message from my cell phone. This is Samsung t809 phone with CLDC 1.1 and MIDP 2.0
The code that I am using is next:
MessageConnection smsconn = null;
try
smsconn = ( MessageConnection )Connector.open( "sms://:50000" );
TextMessage txtMsg = ( TextMessage )smsconn.newMessage( MessageConnection.TEXT_MESSAGE );
txtMsg.setAddress( "sms://18885552233" );
txtMsg.setPayloadText( "Hello SMS!" );
smsconn.send( txtMsg );
catch( Exception e )
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
form_main.append( "\nError occured!" );
if( smsconn != null )
try
smsconn.close();
catch( IOException e )
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
Seems like on cell phone I have an exception because I can see the line "Error occured!"
I have no idea why... :(
Will appreciate any help and comments.
Thank you!
P.S. Oh yes... the phone 18885552233 is not real, I just used my friend cell phone to test. Does not work... :(

hello,
when you use smsconn = ( MessageConnection )Connector.open( "sms://:50000" ); it means that you are trying to connect to a sms server. So if you don't have a sms server on your computer, an exception is thrown !
if you just wanna test sms sending, put the phone number in the string like this
smsconn = ( MessageConnection )Connector.open( "sms://123456789" );<b>reference</b>:

If you have an AirPrint compatible printer, or you have a print app, then you could take a screenshot of each page of the message and then print them. Otherwise, there is no native solution to print SMS messages on the iPhone.

Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted today?

Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted off my phone today?

Sorry but the only thing you can do with a backup to iCloud is restore the entire backup to an iOS device. It is an all or nothing thing. There isn't a way to get to them using a computer or to access just the backed up text messages. If you also backed up to iTunes, there are 3rd party utilities that will extract data from a backup made using iTunes.

Facetime not activating, getting SMS messages from +447786205094

I bought my iPhone 4 unlocked in UK, but am working in Canada, so have a Canadian sim in it, every time I turn face time on it says waiting for activation... And I get SMS messages from + 447786205094, containing what looks like the information needed by the phone to activate face time, but it doesn't activate! Anyone have any idea what I can do to activate face time?
Thanks
Ben

Hi there, there appears to be a problem with activating unlocked UK phones in other countries.

I'm afraid I don't know how to fix it though, but you may want to keep an eye on the other posts running on this forum just in case something else pops up.
As far as I'm aware it's not possible to manually activate facetime - The activation is by text message that are sent without the users knowing.
Good luck.
