Blocking someone from texting my mobile. by banky on 05-07-2007 at 02:36 AM

One of my contact's edited my contact details and added my mobile number to my contact details, which now' allow's them to text my phone from msn. The first text they sent said A= Accept D= Deny.. I accepted but now I want to deny.. How can I stop the text's?

I've tried replying to their text with D.
Tried Removing my mobile details through the options menu.
Tried blocking them on msn..

None the above worked ;o

Edit: This maybe more understandable.

I have a contact whom i've blocked on WLM Messenger, but they're able to send my mobile phone text messages. I don't have my mobile information added. They added it themselves by editing the contact information. I know the first time they text it says A to accept D to deny. I accepeted but now I want to deny them, i've tried to add my mobile info and block contacts from sending messages to it but they can still message. I've also tried sending D, Deny, Block as a reply to the texter but it doesn't seem to stop them.

Delete your account here

Also, go to TOOLS > OPTIONS > Phone > Remove checkmark from "allow... "

(The second one should be enough.. but try both if the second one alone doesn't work)

Try blocking the number or set up a filter. You may be able to do it online threw your phone service provider or you may have to call customer service.

Huh.

Did you try restarting wlm and seeing what happens? (unless you unchecked it before..)

Verizon doesn't offer number blocking.. Was hoping I could do it via WLM.

Never did had it checked never put my mobile number in, the contact did it themselves by Right Click -Edit Contact info and putting my mobile number in herself.
