I have a plan where I can send all the text messages I want for free from my phone. And as I have a litlle side job in sending a lot of SMS text messages for a nightclub members (400 pcs.), I would like to send them from my phone in stead from the web where I pay a lot of money doing this. Is there a program that can allow me in selecting everyone in my adress book and send messages???
basic google mate...

Thanks a lot, will try it out...
Anything else, just to have some options???
Ok before i used a program like SPB Phone Suite to block phonecalls my question is, Can we block SMS texts from single users ? i would like to be able to block texts and phonecalls from certain people. Is there a way i can add a filter like the filters you find for file types? last resort is getting another huge program like and of the SPB software.
I'm also interested in a feature like this. Quite a few annoying ex-girlfriends that like to text me randomly for no apparent reason.

exactly my point i have the same problem or friends who dont get the hint.
T-Mobile says no
According to T-mobile, there is no way to selectively block SMS messages. This is especially troublesome, given that advertisers (and others I don't care for) are starting to send messages to T-Mo phones using SMS (they know they can't be blocked) and I have to pay for them!
Check out the link in my signature for sms and call filter.

All you have to do (to stop advertising) is reply with: Stop
If you are in the USA:
By law, advertisers have to cease and desist all communications when you tell them to stop. If they don't, its considered harassment and you can file a complaint with the FTC or even sue the company for harassment.
I know this because I was being harassed by an advertiser and I had to file a complaint.

mail me you can ask tmobile to block certain numbers. But i am looking for a phone based application to block sms and calls or hide them and reply with a sms like blocked... that you can selectivly block or unblock. So the sms's will still come just not show. i have unlimited texts so its not a matter of getting the texts i just dont want to be annoyed or called by these people.
lol well if somebody with any knowledge on how to surpress phone calls and or sms/mms's know how to do this maybe they can make a freeware app.... spb phone suite was ok but it is large and alot of the time causes phones to go into a boot loop if you dont remove your memory card.

I found this program it allows to blacklist SMS messages i have not tried put it to use by actually knowing if it works but there is a blacklist feature in it. By category, individual contact, and phone number. For those who are trying to stop getting texts from certain numbers ie 4-5 digit spammers you can infact call tmobile and have a number blocked. i have a family plan and my brother kept texting without a text plan i asked if you can block texts all together and CS said no they can halt from single numbers.
Also once again thanks to all the senior members for all of their help *sarcastic laugh*
Also this allows for exporting and many other features if you view the website of the maker it has SS's

i was going to suggest this. love the app! i just wish it was able to do it without being loaded..but it works so thats what matters!
MAGICALL
Call firewall is ok, but I like magicall myself. You can black specific phone numbers/SMS. Also you can have the program auto respond via sms and you can set it up to ignore/hang up/pick up and hang up on certain numbers. Overall GREAT program.
this should help a bit

do you remeber the days when text messaging was free? my nokia brick was my texting machine back in those days lol, and then it was incoming texts free and you only get charged per outgoing, now tmo and everyone else just charges u for whatever packet goes in and out of your phone these days. since pocket pc's and smartphones are running windows mobile it can intercept calls before it gets to the dialer and intercept texts before it gets into the box, all it does it save you the annoyance of "seeing" the calls come in and will hit ignore for you same with text, but i think you still get charged per incoming text even if sms filter stops it on the phone.

***I MEANT TO PUT SMS IN THE TITLE, NOT MMS***
I searched at work and I just searched again when I got home and I can't find anything. The registry edit a few people posted doesn't seem to help me. Unless i'm doing something wrong. You know how you can only type 160 characters in a text message? I want to increase that. I know it's possible and i'm almost positive I seen it before somewhere.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Are you talkin about SMS or MMS?
You can increase the limit of a sms.... But the recipient will receive 2 messages... And you'll pay for both, not only one.....
MMS limit is set about to 1000 characters....
I meant SMS, my bad. Just regular txt messages. So even if I change it on my end to be able to type more, the person receiving it will get 2 messages anyway?

Sure.....
If you write an sms up to 160 character, it will be splitted in 2 messages or more....
Erm. I'm confused now. So there's really no way to make a longer text message then? Anything below 160 will be 1 message and anything over that will be another message? I guess the person receiving the text can only receive so much any way.
there is no way to change the limit on the sms messages... it will get split due to carrier restrictions.. ( Short Messenger Service = short quick messages thats what its intended for )

Right....they will receive two texts but the second one will pick up right where the last one left off.
well i receive really long text messages from my girlfriend and another friend. one had a sidekick lx the other one a pearl. so is it just tmobile to tmobile you can send long messages and the the person gets as a long message. also how come mms downloading uses gprs instead of edge speed i probably wouldnt know the difference but just curious.

why not put the sms threader on you phone, and when you recieve long text msgs they will show as one long message on your phone!!!!!
i already get long text messages without it but when i send a long one only my girlfriends sidekick lx can get a real long message everyone else it breaks it down.

thats part of the sidekick software, but it still counts as a seperate message on her service, it just reads that way...
tell your friends to upgrade their phones if you want it to show in long messages on their part....
and if you friends wont change, change the friends around you !!!
Does anyone know of a way to disable text messaging on the XV 6800? I dont use the feature and I get a ton of spam messages for some reason...Thanks in advance.
JK24
Anyone??? Even a registry setting to disable it woule be helpful...
JK24
Somebody has to have some sort of fix for me...I am tired of getting spam text messages...Not sure how they got my phone number...I didnt sign up for anything and never give my phone number out except to family and co workers...Somebody please help!!!
The only thing I can think of is to call Verizon and ask them to disable SMS messaging for sometime at least. See if they can block the numbers the spam comming from. Last resort is change your number. Providers are not very helpful when it comes to cell phone spam.
You don't want to really disable texts for good do you? That kinda defeats the purpose of the titan. How will you receive links and such from 411's and friends and links for programs? Man when I like to update things like google maps, skyfire, live search I go online and they send me the link immediately. Spam is going to happen whatever number you have. I think if you don't want texts you should sell your mobile, I have some old phones lying around that dont do texts.
Give this app a look see. It may be worth your while.

I think I've got my application done, but it's hard to test.
It's a new SMS text blocker. Runs as a Service and checks incoming SMS phone number to Contacts. If not in Contacts, it goes to internal "spam" table as an unblocked number. If it's not in Contacts and already "spammed", the new message goes to "spam" as a blocked number.
If the new message/phone number is "unblocked", you can add it to Contacts or mark it as spam and the message/phone put in table as "blocked".
Everything seems to be working OK as far as adding to Contacts, deleting message from inbox if moved to spam (why save it twice?) and marking message as "read" (removes notification icon).
I'm wondering what to do with testing. It's hard for me to test it with emulator or sending messages from Verizon website. And a couple of friends are getting pissed at me for asking them to text me all the time! LOL
Putting it on the Market with a 15 minute refund really does not give purchaser a chance to test it (and I don't want to get users upset with me).
I think the best thing to do is put it on the Market as Beta and free. Then just add a check to code that limits the blocked numbers. Then get feedback from users on any problems or errors.
Comments please
