So my friend sent me an MMS but my problem is that I only received a message from the number 3333 with her number in it and a bunch of spaced out symbols along with a hyperlink to, 'http://mms.sprintpcs.com/ammsc/(insert question mark followed by a string of 19 characters consisting of letters/numbers.)
Does anyone know what this means? I would greatly appreciate the help.

We don't know because you didn't provide the full number or URL.. so we can't see what formatting, pattern or clues that might offer. You should have posted the number after changing a few digits as that obviously contains all of the clues as to why it might be formatted that way.
As a wild guess, which is all we can do due to the critical missing details, the MMS may have been sent from a web portal.
There is no reason why a MMS or SMS necessarily has to originate from a telephone number. It may have been entered on a world wide web portal, sent or forwarded by a third party service, bulk mailer or simply been reformatted by your carrier either due to a SNAFU or as a deliberate way to obscure the sender's identity. Depending on the portal, you may or may not be able to reply to that specific message.

Sorry I should have included the full string: ?AG1EPAR93dvjZrgcA73
This was also there: (phone number)/TYPE=PLMN
I'm assuming it is supposed to be, 'http://mms.sprintpcs.com/ammsc/?AG1EPAR93dvjZrgcA73/(phone number)/TYPE=PLMN'
Also how is it that it wouldn't originate from a telephone number when it was sent from the phone? I'm not looking to reply to the message or anything of that sort.
I'm trying to figure out why it sent me that INSTEAD of sending me the MMS messages.
Can nobody help me out here?

Is a very very simple application that allows users to send sms by certain voip accounts...
Its my first app running in a PDA and i hope you enjoy.
TvMSmS_v0.2.rar
simple but lots of potential!
I must say, i like it a lot! there is also someone else developing something like this, his name is skandler. his app has some nice extra features, but i like the fast startup of your app, and the use of standard contact list.
do you see any way to integrate (hook) into the normal sms send subroutine?
also, it would be nice to call the app from commandline, so you could make a shortcut to send to specific people.
sender info doesn't work.
hi,
i found a small bug, when you use voipbusterpro.com, and you enter your correct number in your "from" field, the sms you sent has your login name instead of your (verified) number. i don't know about other accounts, i only use voipbusterpro.
other than that... it's fast! and simply works!
Hi thanks for reporting it.
Bug fixed and url updated...
Even the small apps have the rights to have their bugs
I already thought to put the app running from contact list in a append menu, but im starting with c# /sdk 6 and my knowledge of this is very small.I will keep looking and see if im capable to do that.
country code bug
Hi there,
i found another bug. when a contact already has the phonenumber in international style, your app still writes the countrycode first and then the number;
so you get +31+316.... in the case of a dutch number
You have right again
I will put a function to check if the number already start with + char or something.
thanks for your reports
As we see a very small app could have a lot of bugs (blame the coder )
Phone number with international code will ignore country code in conf...
always "Network error"
other IP SMS tools work & also any program that needs GPRS or 3G. Only TVMSMS fails.
Any ideas?
When "network fail" error appear is something about you configuration( he cant make the request to your voip account).Could you tell me what is your voip provider that you are using in software?
Thank you for this great app
Is the app available elsewhere as the rapidshare link is broken.
Does anyone know how to directly use GSM Codes to accomplish what Slydial does? My problem with Slydial is that you're providing them with 2 valid phone numbers with each use.
I assume by the way you phrased it, that you believe SlyDial is going to sell the numbers to people?
And just to let people know, SlyDial is a service that connects directly to the voicemail of someone, without having to ring, so you can leave a voicemail without them getting a missed call, sorta thing.
when i tried it, it also made a missed call on the recepients phone.

Not necessarily, but the potential is there. For similar privacy concerns, I also wouldn't use any of the online PC backup solutions being offered (I do sector-by-sector image backups locally, FWIW).
The point is that I was presuming that they were inserting some sort of code (GSM?) before completing your call, and that we should be able to send that code ourselves, from our own phones for free, before dialing the phone numbers (yes, I know the offered service is free if you don't mind listening to a 15-sec ad). I just don't know the how to do it. A pretty good synopsis of Slydial is available at BetaNews.
Is it possible to physically reject specific SMS sender? I mean make so that sender and network think that message is unable to be delivered?
I do not have SMS plan and hate to pay for spam, but need to send and receive occasionally.

I know through Verizon's website you can block all texts and/or premium texts. Premium being the ones you can request via 5 digit numbers, i.e. ones that generally cost you money.
Beyond that I don't know if there is a way to block a specific sender. I thought I read something about an app that helps you block calls/texts from users, but I don't remember where or what app.
I'm betting my far wiser friend Google may remember.

Dunno about you, but I have never once in my life gotten an SMS spam message on my personal cell phones. The only "spam" I get is the free messages from Verizon, which doesn't count. If you're getting SMS messages from other sources, you must have signed up for something at some point that got your cell number on a list. I don't trust any type of text messaging service, and never enter my number on any site that asks me to enter my number and carrier (including those stupid fake IQ tests that require a cell number to text you your score).
If the messages are from a legitimate source, they should have an unsubscribe method listed that you can use. Beyond that, I know Verizon can cut off all text messaging, but I'm not sure if they have the ability to block certain senders or not. That would be a question to ask a customer service rep, I guess.
You can set the option to reject messages from a specific sender via My Verizon online. I think you can set something like 5-10 numbers to reject messages from. It will do what you're asking and prevent them from getting through.
Chomp SMS lets you blacklist certain contacts. I haven't tried it out myself, but I have seen the option.

if it is like a fake IQ site just text the word stop to whatever the number is and if its a friend get handcent to block them

VZ service is ridiculous in this department! 5 numbers up to 90 days? You gotta be kidding me.
Sometimes I feel it like some sort of conspiracy here.
SF is my first smartphone and I never had message spam on the old one. Just a few days after getting new phone I started to get messages from who knows what numbers. And these numbers are not regular customer numbers.
What a beautiful business model - first sell my number and then ask me pay to stop spam to my number! Cool!
I guess my question is if I have some sort of software spam filter am i still getting messages physically or soft simply may reject them at very low level at handshake moment or something like this. Pretty much pretend to have constant reception error or something like this.
Just received my Nexus 4 today. SMS messages from some of my contacts are not showing up their names, instead just showing the number.
I'm sure I had this bug in 4.0.3 on my Nexus S but was resolved with 4.0.4.
It seems to be where I have contacts saved without the country code, but the SMS receives the number including the country code. What is odd though is that I can click the generic avatar next to the message and it does show me the correct contact details.
Anyone else suffering this issue?
i have contacts without country codes and sms is working fine

No issues here with the described problem, could it be that you have these specific contacts or numbers double in your address book ?
I have had a similar scenario once before on my Sensation and this was the conclusion ; if the contact and/or number occurs more than once in the address book then logically the phone does not know which one to display and will display none.
Hope this might help ! Good luck !
Same problem here, contact has two cell phones. Work cell doesn't show the name in messages or group messages.

Yeah same issues here.
I have most of my contacts in the phone with a leading zero (ie 0424 xxx xxx), instead of with the leading country code (ie +61424 xxx xxx, +61 being Australia).
When people call me, Telstra shows their numbers generally with the leading zero, however in text messages they come through with the leading country code. The phone doesnt seem to understand the country code, and so treats the two numbers as being different, even though they are the same number expressed differently. Quite frustrating!
Googling it seems to bring back a few hits with people having the issue, but I cant find any resolution?

Same issue here.
I am trying to make my first app. I want it to have no icon in the apps tray and be hidden, with a name like Android system.
I want it to block sms from a specific number, and possibly forward it to another number, without the origional recipitent seeing it period. I want it to block incoming calls from the same specific number and not notify the origal recipitent of call blocked. I want it to block outgoing sms to that same specific number without notifying the sender. And/or send that message intended for the origional number to a secoundary number. And same with calls, i would like calls to that specific number to be blocked and not notify the caller that their call is not going to the specific number.
Do you get what im going for here? I want an app made specifically to install on one specific persons android, to block all contact between that phone, and one specific other persons number, without notifying either party their communication of choice is not reaching the other person. With the possibility of the transactions actually going to a 3rd number soley to be used as a "monitor" if you will.
Can anyone help me code this, itll be my first app, ive never done such. Or if its easy for a senior coder, could you throw the app together for me?
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Honestly. I would like to learn to do this myself in the future, so just help with setting up proper code is good enough!

This whole thing smells very "it puts the lotion in the basket"
relationship counseling maybe?
Cause what I read is. I don't want my significant other talking to person X so i wanna control it.
Creepy..... Very creepy
This requires a rooted device and it's pretty much illegal as far as im aware. For educational purpose:
A service(Services are not shown to the user directly) will be your sms listener and an activity will perform the sms actions.
You can possibly copy, resend and delete incoming messages in the activity. You pretty much wanna stay away from other people inboxes :}
