What's a good app to block phone #'s? Text voicemail calls everything. I need some #'s to be absolutely blocked as if mine didn't exist.
Sorry I could search but on xda app.
Thanks

google voice can block numbers.
Works well for texts, says it does calls too. I have only used it to block texts though. Just add the number to your Blacklist.

Always worked well for me. Make sure you allow texts from the Sprint voicemail device though, or you wont ever get your voicemail notifications!

if i know the digits, ill add them to my block lists via my account at sprint.com.
I use super private conversation. I'm running CM7 and I downloaded it to block the phantom texts you get when you get a voicemail but it also has an option to block private numbers

This is what I switched to for CM7, it works great whereas some apps I've used in the past (CallFilter, GBlocker) don't anymore.

yeah that happened to me, haha, at first i thought it was a bug on Mr. number but it was just i denied texts from sprint voicemail. but all is good now =)
I use the blacklist included in CM6/CM7. MIUI also has a blacklist (firewall IIRC) that can block incoming numbers from ever ringing. Not sure if it covers text messages, but the Spanish bill collectors I get calling me daily (I've had this number for 2 years now) don't text message me.
Looking for a sms/mms messaging app that uses my data plan instead of my text plan. Search with no luck. Anyone got anything......
That would just be email right?
Otherwise, SMS is always going to come in/send out via your text plan
I guess that would fall into email. Guess I'm looking for more of a chat based app. comes down to i would like to send and recieve messages with out a number trace.

What about "whatsapp messenger".. it looks like it might do the trick.

Kik messenger... similar to BBM....
The problem with most apps that say they are SMS replacements that use your data plan is that they are actually some type of IM program which would require the person you are trying to reach be using it as well.
I'd recommend Google Voice as it would be using the data plan on your end, but be sending a true SMS so the recipient sees it as an SMS. If they want to pay for a text messaging plan, that's their choice.
Certain IM clients like Yahoo IM can send SMS messages, but I don't think it's as clean, it's just easier for the recipient when they see a SMS coming from an actual phone number.
In any case, you'd end up having problems if you like to send pics via MMS. Google Voice does not support MMS (people have been requesting it for a while, I only hope it's on their roadmap).
Did'nt Go sms have this as a paid option?
Get Textfree...when u make account, it gives you number that shows up when u text somebody, and it uses data...I used it a lot on my ipod touch, not so much on my dinc, but still does the job

Live profile. It is supposed to work like blackberry messenger but you can use it cross platform (android, iPhone, BB). Downside is that tonuse it, both you and the person you are trying to reach need to have it installed.

You can text with google voice. Its what I use and I'm about to drop texting off my plan. It uses data. Google voice ftw.

Another one here for Google voice. I have about a years worth of messages archived too
Did this come from an App ?
Someone just texted you, either randomly or you gave them your number. Keep in mind many apps can see your phone number, like the Facebook app for example. The Facebook app in some cases actually lets your friends facebook apps, not Android apps but Facebook apps through the Android app, see your number.
Just ignore it. On other carriers I would recommend blocking the number but it really doesn't matter since you have unlimited texting on sprint. You can block numbers easily on sprint and on google voice though, so if it is bothering you just block the number on sprints website or on the google voice site, depending on which you use.

lmao I got one of these a while ago. I got a text bombing app and sent them 1000 texts telling them to f off. havent got another text from them
I just bombed that number for reassurance.

Be sure to add them to your block list as well.
So if I login to sprint I can set call filters?
That Google voice should I set it up?
I thought I didn't need it?
Got a text like this too... Maybe 2 a month. Just found out sprint charged me for one international text. Must be an app causing this. Either way I suggest saving it if you ever receive another, in case sprint wants to charge. Or just bomb the number.

What's the name of the text bombing app lol?

Google it my man, found mine within 20 seconds of reading this thread... even came with a QR Barcode, used Google Goggles and didn't even have to mess with the SD card
I am using CWM 10 with my S3 and was wondering how can I blacklist calls and texts from unwanted numbers? I know in the stock touchwiz5 you could add contacts to blacklist but I just don't see it with CWM 10...do I have to use a 3rd party app to do this now?
If you add the number as a contact you can send all calls to voicemail. I don't know of any way to block the texts though.

Hey thanks for this. I was able to setup send to voicemail. I haven't found a way to do away with text though. I'm guessing I'll have to use an app for both...

Attached is the Sprint Visual Voicemail application, just download it like normal and it should work perfect. This is for AOSP ROM's that don't come with a built-in Voicemail application. I know some people use Google Voice but this is for people who don't use Google Voice.
To get rid of the text messages alerting you of a voicemail (9016) then follow these instructions:
1. Download Mr. Number from the Play Store, Here.
2. Block "9016" from text messages.
3. No more annoying texts!
Enjoy!

Thanks epic. Google voice really sucks and pretty annoying when receiving a call.

Can you use the Sprint Voicemail app if you have your sprint # associated with Google Voice?
I'm recording this message and sending it through gmail? if so, I got a domain name not found. I could just be doing it all wrong.

The voicemail app puts me in gmail when I hit send or else it pops the onscreen keyboard and will not actually "send" the message.

That method was for an older voicemail (I didn't realize that), try the new method and let me know.

It should just work. It just sounds odd. Did you go into apps and clear cache and data for voicemail app? Go into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik cache and fix permissions?
