On my unlocked Dash I get a text message everytime I get a voice mail, does anyone know how to turn this off? I get about 20 VM's per day so you can see how this would bother me.. I hate getting a Text Message for every Voice Mail.
Please Help or I may end up switching back to my Blackberry which I don't want to do..
Thanks

Thats more of the telco problem, not the phones.
I never had this problem before when I was using my blackberry? Only since I switched phones to my unlocked Dash do I get the text message for voice mail.

It's something related to your carrier, not the phone. The phone isn't sending itself a text message. Maybe the Blackberry receives a SMS notification of voicemail that is handled differently, and your Dash is receiving it as a text message... Have you signed up for Blackberry service with your carrier? Have you updated your account to non-Blackberry service? Who's your carrier? Have you contacted them at all about this?
I am using Rogers in Canada. I have a blackberry account as I am using BB Connect since my company won't allow us to connect to the exchange server directly.
I have talked to Rogers and they said it have to be the phone. We I get a VM, i get the little VM message at the top of my home screen so that is working it is just the darn text message that bothers me..
just double check.. is it a text mesage that goes into your Inbox, or just a notification bubble?
Anyway, if it is a text, a quick and dirty way to solve is temp is to have a SMS blocker in place, to filter out these messages.
Hey cool so is that is piece of software SMS Blocker? if it works like email filtering that would work.. Where can I find a SMS Blocker or is a function of the phone?
Thanks great idea!!
The reason you get a text everytime you get a new voicemail is because your "unlocked" phone does not support the the MWI ( message waiting indicator) that your mobile provider uses. I have T-mobile and they use the reel to reel icon that pops up on the top of the screen when you get a new voicemail. If you have an unlocked phone it may not support the icon your providers phones use.
I've had numerous phones with this company(by choice). I am currently using an unlocked phone that was configured for another carrier's network, some of the features do not work the same, including the Message Waiting Indicator. The goods new is you can probably stop this by having your mobile company take the Message Waiting Indicator off all together. But the Bad news is, then of course you will not be notified when you get a new voicemail.
It's a feature of the Rogers network. I have it on my account too. Still debating whether I like it or not though. I think it's part of the "WhoCalled" feature they have, but I'm not sure. It's definitely part of your Rogers service plan though.
Temp Fix for Rogers network SMS after VM
Hi, I had the same problem. It was really getting to me. Now using phone guard 1.09
Works well.
After download, DONT fill in the country code, or area code screen, just leave blank.(or you will not recieve calls, they will be send to vm, ????not sure why)
On the block screen, fill in ( [email protected] ) {for rogers} in the tel sms #, Name it what ever you want.
No more text after vm.
Later
p.s. the program runs in the back ground. Uses the least mem though.
Hello everyone,
I'm on the current AOKP Milestone (4.2.2) on a maguro (GSM version)
I have to switch between two sim cards from two different countries and I cannot send SMS from one of them (just reports an error without any further info "SMS could not be sent."). Which is really bad for me since I have to activate my data and minute plans by sms.
Tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979564
Still can't send sms.
Tried changing the SIM Card's messaging center on an old phone, still cannot send sms.
Is there any other way of changing the messaging center? Or is there at least a way to verify which one my phone is currently using?
Thanks a lot guys
What written there really is the solution. Putting the right number on SMSC field and clicking Update solved it for me.
Are you sure you put the correct number in and did a restart to make sure? Try googleing "<your carrier> SMSC" to find the number.
If nothing helps including trying on another phone, why not call the carrier for support?
Sorry for the late reply. I put the SIM card in an older phone and it gave me an error message saying it was a network error. Since it's a new SIM card that's possible so I'll have to contact the provider.
Yesterday a friend of mine ran out of battery on his iphone and put his sim card into my nexus and again it wasn't able to send sms. So he used another friend's iPhone and everything was fine. What's wrong there? SMS seems to be a difficult task for our nexus... or on android in general
Switched over from a Moto Z Force by moving my SIM card over. I restored SMS/MMS from my old phone. Now I notice that I do not get the first message from a group text. I also apparently get some messages out of order but I don't know that for sure either. Any ideas?
Sometimes I get a text message on the phone I'm using. And sometimes to another phone where the internet is connected but the number I'm writing from is not identical. It's on another phone. Wherever 1 sim is supported. Maybe I've somewhere put my number on my phone where it supports two sim one, sim cards. Use a chat feature on samsunf messages send over wifi or mobile nwtwork withour texting sms messaging. I get a sms reply on the other phone where wifi is connected. Or I don't get one, neither to the phone I sent from nor to the one where wifi is connected. For example, I have been chatting via sms messaging , I have not received any reply since 17 h although it shows that I have sent a message from the tel where one sim is supported. When I sent the card to another phone where two sim cards are supported I received the messages I should have received yesterday on the phone where I wrote, when I sent the card to the phone where the messaging app is supported, the samsung chat function sends messages using wifi or mobile data. When I went to the settings for messaging, chat functions - this function was switched off. (Because it says to send sms using internet or wifi connection. When I installed the card, it immediately switched to 4g even though it was connected to wifi yesterday, but no messages came to the phone where wifi was connected. And to the one from which I'm dialling. And the time shows today the dates when received : 17 and 17:45 although yesterday at that time I was using 1 phone where only 1sim is supported. But I have not received any reply. I only received it today when I put the card in my phone. Why do I get it on the other phone where wifi is connected or when I insert the card and connect 4g to the phone where two sims are supported? The app is here ( Messages. not GOOGLE MESSAGES). It is switched off but I get a sms reply either to the one from which I sent the sms or to another phone where wifi is connected.
About a month ago, a problem popped up where I have not been able to send MMS messages. Whether it is a picture or multiple recipient text (sent as MMS). I have tried every trouble shooting that there is:
New SIM
Reset Networks
NEW DEVICE
eSIM
The ironic thing is that when T-Mobile issued me a temporary NEW PHONE NUMBER, the problem was resolved. I am not willing to lose my phone number which I have had for 22 years.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried more than one Messages app to see whether you have success. If you haven't installed Google's Messages app, give that one a try.

I have tried several apps. What I am interested in is if there are settings that the phone company assigns to a "phone number" as opposed to a device. I took my sons SIM card and placed into my device and it worked fine.
