VZW Free Text Message

Anyone else get the recent text message from Verizon (3575) "An exciting free message from Verizon Wireless is on its way!  Stay tuned!  Reply STOP to quit or HELP for program details. 877-764-3513"?
Replied HELP and Response is as follows:  "Thanks, this a VZW marketing msg.  Text STOP to quit or please call 877-571-0774 for more information."
Called the 877 # and all I got was an answering service telling me about an exciting something or other to leave a message with phone #, carrier, make and model of phone.
Stated it's from vibe.com or vive or something don't remember.
Don't know if it's a marketing scam/spam using VZW as a cover, if it's legit or if it's the impending bug fix for ICS?

Yes I received at 2:36 pm CST a text from 3575
FREE VZW MSG: An exciting message from Verizon Wireless is on its way! Stay tuned! Reply STOP to quit or HELP for program details. 877.764.3513
I did not reply or touch the message.
Then at 3:55 pm CST we recieved a text from 3575 with a VZW Content video attached.
Did not open or touch.

  • Free Text Messages Unlimited Anytime Plan

    Hello,
    I am looking at taking out the BT Infinity 2 broadband and adding the Unlimited Anytime Plan to the service. I was just wondering if anyone on here knows if I would still be entitled to the 200 free text messages per month by adding the Unlimited Anytime Calls plan as an add on?
    I am referring to the below document.

  • Free text message apps

    I just want to confirm: The apps to send text messages for free are really just e-mail apps. They will only go as fast as e-mail can carry them, and when I get the response, my phone won't ding (I use the bell sound) like it does when I get a real text message, correct?
    If you want real text messaging, you have to pay, correct?
    Thanks!

    The free SMS apps use email, yes. In fact, behind the scenes, 'real' SMS is also using email (when sent between carriers, at least).
    As for how you receive a reply, that depends on the app. If the app is one where you put in your number as the sender, and the other person replies to your message, then it comes in as an SMS to your iPhone (with the bell sound). In that case, you'd be charged for receiving the reply, but not for sending the original message.

  • Is there any way to determine what device text messages are sent from? Do free text messaging apps relate to the apple ID, or the iPod?

    My son had a friend give him his apple ID username and password, and downloaded a texting app. Now, some text messages were sent, and they are both denying it.  Is there any way to know if the text messages came from my son's iPod? The app and texts are deleted, so I can't look at a history to see who typed them.

    I could not find anything one the developer's upport page. Contact the developer and ask

  • How To Eliminate Daily Text Messages From 1111?

    So I originally had a basic cell phone that had no access to text messaging or any bells and whistles. However, for one week, text message was activated and during this time, I was getting daily text messages from 1111. Specifically, two text messages in the morning from V.XSIGN and V.Quote with a horoscope and quote of the day. Anyways, after halting the text service again, this stopped. Anyways, this past week I finally upgraded to iPhone 4 and now have text service activated. Naturally, these text messages have come back. So my question: is there any way I can get rid of them? And given these names are V.XSIGn and V.Quote are these Verizon services? And, if so, are these free text messages? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    reply with "stop", see if that does it. Also call VzW, block "premium messaging" (it's not technically a scam, but it might as well be, and you should block it), and make sure you haven't been charged for these "services"

  • Free Text e-mail in Portal UWL

    HI All,
    I have a step in my workflow that allows a user to enter a free text message which can be sent to one or more other users. A decision task comes into the users inbox. If they click reject the next step of the workflow is the task which allows them to write an email and send the mail to the requestor.
    This works perfectly in R/3, however we are using SAP 4.6c and we are trying to implement this in portal.
    The main problem with implementing the workflow in portal is that the job to sync your R/3 workflow inbox with your UWL is only run every minute which means it can take up to a minute for the email task to arrive in the users inbox after they click the Reject button.
    In short, we need the UWL to run the email task straight away when the user clicks reject.
    Has anyone come across a similar issue? All suggestions are really appreciated
    Many Thanks,
    Colm

    Colm,
    I assume you are using the UWL Userdecision handler (which is the one you are getting by default for workflow user decisions, at least in NW2004s).
    The "advance with dialog" functionality is not supported with decisions in UWL, and therefore your scenario won't work.
    The alternative is:
    - The UWL Userdecision handler offers a field to enter text in it at runtime. You can even customize whether that text should be mandatory or not depending on the decision taken by the user.
    The only thing I am not sure about is how to retrieve the text in the workflow (I haven't practiced this myself) but I am sure it must hide somewhere in a standard container element.
    - Use that text, retrieve it in a muiltiline container element, and then send that by mail with a background task.
    Hope this helps,
    Patrick

  • I can send text messages but I cannot receive them!  Can anyone help?

    On my iPhone, I can send text messages, and other people receive them, no problem.
    But when people send me texts, I never get them. What is going on, and what should I do?
    Frustrated,
    Dave

    I'm having the same problem. I came from Verizon, and activated about an hour ago. I got the 2 free text messages from AT&T and can send, but not receive. My friend who transferred from TMobile on Friday night had the same exact problem. He had to call a number, and have them fix some thing in his billing that was not correct. I am trying to get the number from him. It is an AT&T thing.

  • HT3529 What are some good free texting apps?

    I'm looking for a free text messaging app that allows me to add my contacts without requiring them to set up an account through the app.  Is that possible?

    I don't know of any that do exactly that, but I use Pinger. You can even make free wifi calls trough them. Call quality is as good, if not better, than Skype too.

  • I have an iPhone 4S and my friend has two ipods with two Apple ID's.  Why can't he receive messages on "Message" on one and he uses a free text app on the other which receives messages from my phone just fine.

    My friend has two ipods.  Two Apple ID's and on one ipod he has a free text app on it and only Message on the other.  He cannot receive a message from my iphone 4S on the one with Message, but receives it fine on the one with the free text app.
    He can also receive a message from my iPad on the one with Message.
    My question is how can he recieve a text from my iPhone to the ipod which has a different Apple ID than the other but does not have a free text app?
    Also on the ipod he has the free text app he has not upgraded to ios7 and won't.

    Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
    Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
    If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

  • I am a bit ignorant when it comes to my iphone 4. Can somone help me delete saved text messages? I have tried to delete them one by one in my messages, but it still says that I have 2.3 saved messages. I just want to free up space  on my phone.

    Dearest Ones in the Apple Tech World,
    I need to free up space in my storage, and I can do that if I can figure out how to delete my saved text messages. Anyone out there know how in the world I can accomplish this?
    I have tried to delete them one by one, but it still says that I have 2.3 GB of saved messages!
    I am not the saviest when it comes to operating this phone. Any help would be appreciated!
    THANKS SO MUCH!

    There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
    In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts,  tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right.

  • VZW to VZW text messages have call back number in every message after Tango update

    First of all I want to say how much I appreciate VZW rolling out the WP updates in a timely manner for once (is this the first time they've ever done so, for any phone?), even with the outdated technology (or just the one device), and I'm sure it'll keep us WP faithfulls happy for a little while longer. However I do have an issue with the latest update because it seems like VZW has been affected in such a way that now I have a "Call back at xxx-xxx-xxxx" after every text message received from a Verizon customer. At first I thought it was my friends and family telling me to call them back, and I did (to some degree of annoyance caused me and others) and now its just a plain nuisance. Some web perusing resulted in a few others having the same issue and only on verizon so far
    I know who's texting me at any given time because their names are displayed on top and if I want to call them all I have to do is tap the name (and if no name then the number is so displayed), so displaying "call back at" so and so is just unnecessary and only serves to clutter up an otherwise clean nested message history/interface. So my question is there a way to disable this (which I have yet to find) or does VZW know about this error and plan to fix it, hopefully very soon? Or is this an issue with microsoft?

    I found the answer to this problem.  I think it depends on what kind of phone you have, but I was able to turn off the CB# in the messages.  I have a Samsung Stratosphere.  I was able to go into Messaging, then the menu icon, then choose Settings.  Under the settings there was a choice called Callback enabled.  I was able to to uncheck this choice and now my callback number no longer shows up.  Hope this helps everyone!

  • I am using an I phone 5 in Germany and trying to get text messaging to work through the hands free Bluetooth connection on a Honda CRV. It keeps telling me that text messaging is not a feature of my phone. messages come in on the phone.How to resolve ?

    mono 8 bit 8k is 64kbps, yes. 8 bits times 8,000 = 64,000 = 64k bits/sec.
    And yes I think that's a typo - there's no such thing as 'Mone' that I've ever heard of...
    But you might want to check to find out if this is a mu-law non-linear format, possibly - there are several ways that 8 bit 8k wav files can be encoded, and typically phone systems don't use linear ones. If you have a log-in to Zultys' user-base system they have an FAQ there, I believe - the answer might be in that, and it won't cost $500.

  • HT3529 Is there a free option to printing out multiple text messages from one person?

    is there a free option to printing out multiple text messages from on person?

    Printing from the iPhone either requires an AirPrint compatible printer, or an app from the App Store. You would have to search to see if they are free or cost. Also, the printing of text messages would either require you to make a screen shot of the message and to print that as a photo, or you would need a 3rd party software on the computer to copy the entire message to the computer and print from there. There is no native print capability for entire message threads.

  • Does texting on imessage through free wifi charge you if you don't have a text messaging or data plan?

    Ok so I just got a new iphone 4s that's factory unlocked & I was wondering if you texted someone through imessage on wifi, will that charge you any money?
    If the person doesn't have imessage? And if they do? Because I don't have a text messaging or data plan.

    But what if I don't use the data plan for imessage and use wifi instead?
    If you are using wifi, you are not using a data plan. You will not be charged.
    And you cannot send SMS over wifi. You can only send iMessages (to people with Macs/iDevices and iMessage enabled).
    I was wondering if you texted someone through imessage on wifi, will that charge you any money?
    Messages is the app.
    iMessage is type of message that goes over wifi or cell data.
    Open the Messages app and add a phone number or appleID, the line to enter you message will display Text Message (and a green Send button) or iMessage (and a blue Send button).
    If it's a text message (green) it will be sent as SMS and you will be charged, even if you are on wifi.
    If it's an iMessage (blue) and you are on wifi, it will be sent over wifi (no charge).
    If it's an iMessage (blue) and you are NOT on wifi, it will be sent over cell data or sent as an SMS.

  • HT1688 If I'm in Mexico and I'm skyping with someone in the US, will it go against my data plan or is it free? What about text messaging?

    If I'm in Mexico and skyping with someone in the US, will it go against my data plan? What about text messaging?

    Unless you are connected to an available wi-fi network when Skyping, when doing so via a carrier's cellular network goes against your data plan. The same when using any app that requires internet access.
    SMS is exchanged over the same network as calls, so no data usage with SMS.
    MMS is exchanged over the carrier's cellular data or internet network so MMS goes against your data plan.
    The same when exchanging iMessages unless your are connected to an available wi-fi network when doing so.
