Why won't the messages stop?!?

I was woken at 0331 this-morning by a message from Telstra telling me that I have used 50% of my data allowance. There was a second, identical message at 0430. A third message at 0526, at which stage I angrily logged in to my account and turned notifications off. Despite turning notifications off, the messages have continued to arrive on my phone; at 0557, 0635, 0720, and the latest at 0744. I'm getting really, really pissed-off now, Telstra, for two reasons: 1. Why the hell does your system send people messages at 3.30a.m.?  In what universe is that even possibly acceptable?  It's not an emergency, it's a data-usage notification, and it is unbelievably inconsiderate to be sending people messages like that in the middle of the bloody night. 2. Why the hell haven't the messages stopped since I turned off the notifications? I shall await a reply, and I do hope said reply is more helpful than the robo-script replies I got from Telstra's email contact a few weeks ago when I had the same problem of SMS notifications arriving in the middle of the night! Totally unsatisfactory, Telstra.

Well I am not 100% sure how it works however let’s say you were using data last night and you went through 50%, 75% and then 100% of your data. 5 hours later in the middle of the night it sends you a 50% data usage message, 5 minutes after that it sends you a 75% usage message and so on and so forth. It’s not an ideal system because of the delay however I guess if you weren’t to get the messages people would be unhappy about that as well. The delay in the usage is the problem.

  • Why won't the messages and facetime app work?

    I refuse to believe that the only fix for this is to do all the behind the scenes stuff to change out certain aspects of apps.  I would think that because messages and facetime come built into 10.8.2.  I believe that it is on apple's shoulders to fix this with an update or maybe just an updated messages and facetime app.

    I had my messages and facetime in a folder inside applications, once I copied and pasted the new apps into the folder and clicked replace, they worked just fine, maybe some of you have done the same thing!

    That's just the way the web works. If the font is not
    installed on the
    user's computer it can't display in their browser. You are
    best to stay with
    commonly installed fonts and to specify multiple fonts in
    your CSS. Start

    Doesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

    I create a new index on column2, (INDEX_N3)
    and change SQL to
    select 1 from table T1 where
    T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
    This time INDEX_N3 will be used.
    but change SQL to
    select 1 from table T1 where
    T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
    and T1.COLUMN_004 = '1000'

    Why?

  • HT1657 Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    It won't let me download iOS 7.  When I check for software updates it says that it is up to date.  I also went to iTunes to delete the songs from the iPod, but now it isn't even recognizing any devices.  I even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to my computer.  LOL  I am sure it is something small, but I don't have the patience for it now.  Maybe I should step away from the computer and come back in a little bit...    Thank you for the advice though!  Keep it coming!  I know it is hard to diagnose over the internet, but any ideas help!

    more info would help. If you're using actionscript and

    wrong. It's possible that your images aren't in the right layer or

  • Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3

    As said in the title Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3. I have tried everything (uninstalling AIR, reinsalling it etc) I can think of but nothing makes it work. This image shows what I get in return every time I try to install the app. My PC meets all requirements to run Adobe AIR. Why is this occuring? I have the current version of AIR.  

    Hi oxide9999999999,
    For the moment, you have to install the version of AIR linked from their site: http://www.avatarmovie.com/desktop/index.html
