So i learned something new today.
If you text
Block followed by the phone number to 9999
Sprint will block all texts from that number for you.

This will definitely come in handy

Text "Help all" to 9999 to display all the.block options.
This can also be done through the sprint website through your account preferences. You can also block up to 100 people from calling you.
Good to know.
This is awesome news. I just started receiving this crap about junk cars.
An app from the market called "airpush detector" works great for identifying what apps are spamming you.

To have two phones connected to one line. Sharing the same minutes, data usage and txt msgs?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Its illegal...but yes
It is called cloning a device. They used to do it for pagers but that is a major difference. Doubt you will find anyone to do it for a cell phone but theoretically it could be done.

That would cost money... I joke, but really this is the way to go. I have 5 lines on my family plan. We still only use 200-300 if the 1500 landline minutes.

Aren't there also a lot of technical problems with a clone?
EX: A call or text comes in to your number and only one of the phones gets it.

It is how Vonage and Majic jack work as well as a good part of the Sprint Airave. They just use your internet connection.

Ok, so on the most current Miui build Wifi works and voice calling isn't quite there yet. How would I go about setting something like this up? Do I need to get a specific app?

More accurately, it is called Voice Over Internet Protocol. Goole voice is a specific service that uses the protocol, similar to the issue of Kleenex being a specific brand of tissue paper.
I like to clear up confusion before it gets too far - we Americans have redefined too many words out of ignorance and fallacious assumptions as it is ;-)
@John - I haven't looked at VoiP solutions for Android in several months, but GrooveIP was a great app to use Google Voice for this purpose. At the time that I discovered it myself, the official Google Voice app didn't support voice calls on Android, so the only free way I had found involved an intermediary internet number (called a DID number, using a SIP account... it gets convoluted and confusing too damn fast, and wasn't very stable... plus, all of the free SIP providers I could find seemed to shut down around the end of June, for some reason).
What are you trying to accomplish? The only use that readily comes to my mind is to avoid using limited anytime minutes by using unlimited data instead - I rooted a friend's phone for this purpose, because his girlfriend always tore through all of their minutes in the first week of the month, then *****ed at him when she was unable to call him (obviously, the *****ing came later that evening, lol) I should explain that they're on a prepaid provider that doesn't do any free mobile to mobile minutes, etc. Just re read you4r last post more closely, answering my own question
And I mistyped one part - google voice didn't support outbound calls, lol - one word makes all the difference. Actually, I think the issue was that outbound calls used minutes you have to purchase... it wasn't the ideal situation for my friend's budget...
Anyway, my friend also had an Evo that he was unable to flash to Virgin, so I initially tested on that using just a wifi connection. It works great, and actually save my ass one night when a bad flash rendered my Epic unusable, and I couldn't get to my laptop for another 10 hours. I found a McDonald's or Starbucks with the free hotspot service whenever I needed to make or receive a call
EDIT: I am doubting the accuracy of my statements... but I am certain that GrooveIP does not need an active mobile network and does not eat up minutes, because Virgin doesn't do free incoming calls (at least not on their lowest Android plan). So I may have some details mixed up, but GrooveIP will work.
I should mention that GrooveIP was a $4 app when I set my friend up, no trial version to be found either

I guess I was trying to find a way to make calls using the most current Miui build. It only works on Wifi and when I make or receive a call you can't hear anything so I was hoping I could ring a roundabout way while they are working on it. Thanks for the thorough response.

better than paying 3.99 a month. for a one time fee of 2.99 you can get more features

I agree. This app is garbage. I deleted a friends number and and tested it. He is from Maryland. This thing is telling me Texas...
I also use this app and have had no problems with it.

Can you find your telephone # in here ?
http://tndb.us
If yes, make a case with your provider/carrier because it violation of your privacy, and can be used by scamers and telemarketing companies. I found this and my number and name on it by coincidence...
Main directory numbers are AREA codes, second directory is 3 digit middle number and last directory is 4 last diggits of your phone (etc 707/662/8955)

Luckily my number wasn't in the database, but still this is crazy. But then again any reverse lookup would give you the same information.

It's a site that collects user info (name, phone #) from US customers, and there is big chanses that those information are realised by our carriers (no guarantee)

Not me. Looks like spam. I would not reply to it. My wife replied stop to one of those and then started getting $10-$20 charges on the bill every month.
I got a random message like that a while back. I contacted Sprint and gave them the number and they put a block on that number so I wont see that crap coming again. Good luck!

Also look up text message phishing. By responding, you verify you have an active mobile account. Just like they do with email.

Login to your Sprint account, go to my preferences page and block the number. I have a growing list of blocked numbers, both text and voice, from these spamming companies.
I get them every once and a while. I even got one before that was sent to me that was about a job I just got, but it was clearly spam. Because the employer didn't even have my phone number. Nor did I post anywhere online about getting the job.
I just ignore them though.

If you text "block ###-###-####" to 9999, Sprint will automatically block it for you & send you confirmation via text. Worked for me so far with a couple of spam texts.
