Hi -
We have a situation where we can only send an SMS message to a phone number. No alternative methods like WhatsApp or the 100 other messaging apps, due to a limitation of rules and system. On the receiving end, we have someone who doesn't have SMS services in their area (overseas - UK), so they're unable to receive them. I'm not exactly sure how to word this, but is there anything that allows you to SMS a target phone number and have it be received over 4g/wifi instead of regular SMS messaging over cellular?
I looked at Google voice, but this person doesn't want to switch anything over number-wise. Is this or any other service a viable solution for this need?
Thanks in advance for any advice......
I'm trying to figure out the privacy/convenience trade-off to see if it's worth it to activate Messages for Web, and I can't seem to really find any details.
I currently use Messages on my phone, and I am (naively?) under the impression that my SMS and MMS messages are delivered from my carrier (AT&T) directly to my phone and they stay on my phone and are merely displayed in the Messages app but the messages themselves are not transmitted to Google.
If I activate Messages for Web, would my complete SMS/MMS history be uploaded to Google's service and stored there indefinitely and then displayed in my browser when I access it?
Thanks
I keep getting notifications of Can't get MMS so I turn on Data and click the message on the notification screen. Nothing happens. I have received MMS recently so I think this is just one of those new advertisers sending me a MMS with no phone number. I'm using Textra as a messaging app and I have notification dots turned on. So the Textra Icon is showing a Dot but when I go into the app none of the entries in the history list has a dot. I don't know who is trying to send me MMS. This has to be fixed because it's like screening your phone calls. If you don't recognize the number I don't want to download the MMS. There seems to be no cancel option. This must be added. It can't be blocked because you don't know the number. Wouldn't it be great if you where able to block MMS or SMS with blank recipient phone number. Wouldn't it be great if robo callers where not allowed to set their phone number as blank. Wouldn't it be great if Robo callers were required to set a code that a phone app could read and bypass the call.
SMS Spam and text messages with trojans and viruses has gotten so bad that I have had to block all SMS except those in my contact list. I use 'Should I Answer' for the SMS blocking.
I get SMS text alerts from several banks with no problem (they normally have a 6 digit number). But one bank has no number and is only identified by what appears to be an email address.
Unfortunately a Contact list does not allow an alphabetical input in the phone number field of the contact list. I question how they can even send an SMS message without a number. I've tried asking the bank for help but they seem clueless about this.
Is there a way to determine what number is being used to send these alerts? I found a number they claim on their website is used for SMS but when entering it in the contact list it is still blocked. I can't get any alerts from that bank due to their use of an email address in place of a number. Any suggestions?
