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.
