How to Make Your Cell Phone Number Appear As a Private Number
You might start getting unsolicited text messages on your Blackberry Phone from China
Wholesale just when you think you've got junk mail and e-mail spam
under control. It is very angry because you normally can't clear a text
message without opening it, and in some plans, you might get charged for
every text message that you receive! Here are some ways to stop mobile
phone spam, also known as SMS spam or m-spam. They're not perfect, but
they might hold you over until spam-stopping technology catches up with
mobile phones from Wholesale Bar Phone. You can follow the
four steps to stop your cell phone spam:
1. Stop a specific number, e-mail address, or website. Most providers
offer this option, and it can be useful if they always include their URL
in the messages they send, or if the spammer consistently text messages
you from the same number or e-mail address. You can also stop all of
known Cell Phones spam numbers for your area
according to a user-generated database.
2. Create an alias. Some providers will allow you to create a unique
alias, stopping all messages that are not addressed to your alias if
there are some messages you want to receive from the Internet. This
filters out spammers, who usually find their targets by sending text
messages to random numbers. Give your alias address only to the people
and website you actually want to receive messages from. As of June 2008,
this feature is offered by Verizon Wireless, AT&T and T-Mobile.
* If your carrier allows you to stop all text messages except when it
comes from a specific address, you can create an e-mail account that has
good spam filtering software and have your Qwerty Keyboard Cell Phone only
receive messages from that specific e-mail address. Have people text
message you at that address, and have all the e-mails from that account
forward automatically to your Quad Band Cell Phone.
* Doing this may inadvertently stop replies to your text messages. If
the reply-to address isn't your alias and someone replies to your
message or e-mail, their message will get stopped because it wasn't sent
to your alias.
3. Stop all text messages originating from the Internet. You can ask
your service provider to prevent all Internet messages from reaching
your Wifi
Cell Phone since the majority of mobile phone from Chinese
Wholesaler spam is sent through the Internet. As of June 2008, this
feature is offered by T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
4. Check your cell phone bill. You may be able to convince the carrier
to drop the charges associated with those messages if spammers continue
to get through. If you call as soon as your receive the spam you have a
better chance at this.
There is software designed to be installed on your phone to filter text
messages. This may be the only way to stop spam from your own carrier,
which is common in countries like Thailand.
Of course,there are some warnings
* Same applies for unknown phone numbers. Such as, if your bank is
calling your cell phone from Wholesale Flip Phone, better hang up
and call them back on their official contact numbers. If you are unsure
if a number is saved to call back do an internet research.
* Registering your phone from Wholesale Slide Phone on the National
Do Not Call Registry only prevents phone calls, not text messages.
*Never respond to text message spam, because usually the first time is
random numbers being tested for responses. You may inadvertently sign
yourself up for additional spam messages as many times spammers can and
will sell your digits to other spammers if you do respond to a spam
message. Don't take their bait.
