Turn off texting for Blackberry 8110?

A father here who wants to turn off the texting option on my sons 8110 Pearl without  a hassle. I want to take the phone and re-program it...how do I do it. The family plan from ATT says they will charge me extra $ every month to do this...short of taking the fone ... how can I do it locally?
Dad

Ask AT&T. They may be able to look up the Caller ID and block the offending party from texting you. You may have to contact the offender and have him unsubscribe you from the spam list via their website or contact their 1800 number to complaint the issue and have them discontinue the SMS right away.
Side note: I don't use SMS myself either. But you do need to have an SMS subscription for AT&T to send you paperless billing from what I've been told by the representative. So I have the $5 a month one for 200 texts. My colleagues don't text me often and I can't receive them anyways unless the phone is not in airplane mode and have a clear line of sight for the E/3G towers.

All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

    Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
    Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
    Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

  • Turn off iMessage for just one person

    I have one friend that I text a lot who has an iPhone and I want to be able to text her using text message instead of iMessage. Another one of my friends only has an iPod though, so I don't want to turn off iMessage. Is there a way I could turn off iMessage for just my one friend?

  • How Do I turn off Text message on my MacBook Air

    My MacBook Air, my husband's Macbook Pro, and my Iphone4 are all linked and therefore my husband sees all my text. The problem is an educator I may be discussing something confidential, therefore how do I unlink his mac from my iphone. We do share the same Apple account...

    Hi there Zorro1960,
    You should be able to prevent your messages from going to your computer, by removing your phone number from iMessages and turning off Text Message Forwarding using these instructions. They are about turning on these features but you should turn them off instead:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Is there a way to turn off text messaging while you listen to songs/videos?

    I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to temporarily turn off text messaging while you are listening to a song or video? I find it very annoying that if I let someone listen to the videos on my phone - that while they are doing that and a text comes in - it shows up right on the phone for them to read it. This did not play out too well when my girlfriend was listening to it yesterday.(keep all smart comments to a minimum please, lol). Can you turn off texting while you listen and then turn it back on when you finish? Please say yes... Thanks

    Nathan, thanks for that info....I appreciate that. That makes a lot of sense (what you said about airplane mode) and seems to be a good feature. I had been told a couple of times by airline personnel to please turn off my phone.
    This seems to be the answer I was looking for. I just hope that it will still play in my car. I was finally able to find a Belkin Cable to connect it to to hear music. I have an auxillary port for it. That is where & when the trouble lies. When I am listening to the ipod portion - watching a video - and hearing the music come from my speakers in the car. All of a sudden, a text comes through and you can read it & it asks where you want to 'view' or 'ignore'. I'm gonna test it...

    how do I turn off text box in pages?

    Thank you Peter and Jerry.
    Screen shot above. I know it's not much, but there it is.
    In actual fact I can make the text box bigger, but I just want to have the option of not having a text box.
    It should be simple, and not actually need a screen shot: just simple instructions. It seems pretty fundamental to me.  Does anyone know how to do this?
    Best, Angela

  • HT5362 How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates? 'App Store' doesn't show in the list of notification apps. I want the background checks for updates, just not the notifications.

    How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates?
    In the 'Notifications' section of the 'System Preferences' app, there is no tab for managing the notifications of System Updates nor App Store.
    Hey--- I like auto-checking for updates, and hey--- I like auto-downloading them in the background.
    BUT I do not like being notified of updates in the middle of working! Especially when it's iTunes updates. Grrrr.
    Any chance this is easy and I just missed it?
    THANKS COMMUNITY!

  • Turn off ATP for a Storage Location

    Hi,
    I want to turn off ATP for a Storage Location.
    I am aware of a setting on IMG where we can have this done but not able to find the right node.
    Can someone help me with it?
    availability check NOT TO CHECK the stock at the storage location level
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Availability checks can be triggered either automatically or manually:
    The availability of components in an order can be checked automatically during order creation and/or order release. You specify in CustomizingOPJK per order type and plant whether the availability should be checked automatically. In addition, an automatic availability check can be carried out when the order is saved.
    You can always trigger a manual availability check
    The checking scope is defined via the Checking Group (in the material master) and the valid Checking Rule (in Customizing).
    They define:
    Which MRP elements are taken into account in the check
    Which inventory categories are taken into account
    Whether the replenishment lead time is taken into account
    Whether the check is also to be carried out at storage location level
    In Customizing (checking control) you specify which quantity is used to check the availability of a material. You can choose between the following:
    Availability Check Against Planned Independent Requirements
    In the check against planned independent requirements, the system only checks the open planned independent requirement quantities created for the components. This means that the ATP quantity is not included in this availability check nor are receipts or stocks.
    This type of availability check is most useful:
    if assembly planning or phantom assembly planning is used to plan the components
    if quick statements about the availability situation are required and the results from this check are precise enough
    The system uses the open planned independent requirements quantity at component level to determine a committed quantity and this quantity is copied to the planned order header in the Committed quantity field. As opposed to the availability check according to ATP logic, however, the committed quantity is not recorded in the dependent requirements. The planned independent requirements of the components are not consumed by the committed quantity but by the complete dependent requirements quantity. In availability checks that follow, the system can only commit quantities for the amount of planned independent requirements that have not yet been consumed.
    In the availability check against planned independent requirements, the following dates/quantities are not calculated:
    overall commitment date
    partial commitment date/quantity
    ATP quantity
    In the check according to ATP logic, the system checks whether the dependent requirements of each component are covered by specific receipt and issue elements or by stock. This check is carried out dynamically, that is, each time you carry out the check, the system recalculates the current situation. If a quantity can be committed for the requirement date, the system enters precisely this quantity as the committed quantity in the dependent requirements and the ATP quantity for the components is reduced by the committed quantity. Therefore, in the next availability check, dependent requirements can only be committed for the amount of the remaining ATP quantity.
