Super long text message?

So today my friend with an Iphone4 thought it would be funny to copy the whole script of star wars return of the jedi and text it to me. I got close to 2000 text messages before I downloaded privacy star and blocked him. But the problem is I tried to do this and it's just not possible my text kept force closing and the text wouldn't send. Why can't I do this?
I hate steve jobs!

are you sure he copy and pasted straight from his phone? may be he did it in parts? or he sent from his computer. i think you can go to my tmobile and sent texts from there.

I'm sure I saw his text thread he did it right in front of me and then he did it again to another person. Like that's crazy that someone could do that cuz there's no way of stopping it once its sent

That's cool thanks but it says there's a limit of text you can send
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

There IS a limit. What's probably happening is that he's actually sending you MANY text messages. A lot of SMS apps (including the stock one I had on my G1) will reassemble received text messages so that they look like one message, when they were in fact many.

This story made me lol... I hope you get him back haha

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

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.

adds?

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?

I don't recommend bombing the internatioal one.. That could be kinda spendy.

[Q] How to block text messages from unknown #

Hey guys,
I've been receiving 2 texts every 5 minutes on my phone since earlier today. Each text says the same garbled message and arrives exactly 5 minutes after the previous pair. I now have over 60 identical text messages.
I called Sprint and says since the originating # is unknown or blocked, there's nothing they can do. Has anyone had a similar experience in the past? Any good advice for me besides changing my phone number?
Thanks 3:

Easiest way is to.......
Use a blacklist Apk, there are several
switch to an MIUI ROM that has a built in blacklist

Garbled how? I would try texting Stop as that usually works for the spam ads.
Hope it helps

When I view the details of the message, it says the phone number texting me is:

Therefore, there's no way to block this using an app since there's no # associated with the texts

when i was texting someone from craigslist and all of a sudden some of the text started to look garbled too and it would be every other 2texts from this person...i thought they were texting from a different language that wouldnt convert into english lol

Could this be the same issue?

Google voice integration

To save a few bucks I use Google Voice exclusively. One thing that I hate about GV is that the ui is lacking and the text messages are treated like emails not like text message in the sense that I can have 20 conversation with my Mom or Girlfriend as opposed to the stock messaging app where they are all together. Another annoyance was that I couldnt get the GV notification/notification on lock screens. This app basically uses your stock messaging app to send GV messages. You still cant send mms. You can choose to send either native message or Google Voice. This is a trial version. The developer says this May not work for all roms. Oh yeah you have to be rooted.

GTalk & GVoice aren't designed to "send" media (say a picture) in the same way MMS goes about it.
You could always just use your GMail app and tap labels, to switch to the chats/gv label & read your sexy messages to your mom.....errrrrrr my bad, girlfriend I meant to say.

I save my contacts number. Then I text them Through Gvoice and when they reply I get their Gvoice number and I just save and edit that into their contacts. And I just text them thru the stock messaging app and receive messages there like normal.

Was doing that when I had prepaid plan with unlimited text. Now that I am on the value plan I just don't pay for it at all, hence I use GV and now I can use the stock messaging ap
Sent from my SCH-I110 using xda premium

I'm currently on the prepaid plan with unlimited text and data with 100mins.
What is ur value plan and how does it save u money. Can u explain further I'm kind of confused. I was thinking about switching plans.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I pay about 60 for unlimited data and 500 minutes plus free wifi calling, nights and weekends. I got tired of having only 100 minutes paying for. 10/minutes. Or dealing with voip apps which don't always work. I also pay an extra 20/month. Since I can't buy the gs3 upfront. Before I had the payment plan and the unlimited data I was paying about 50/month
Sent from my SCH-I110 using xda premium

Oh okay that makes sense. Yeah the low voice minutes r hard to not go over but I really need the data. I can't afford that much for an individual plan as I'm a student but I have been trying to get a good deal and get a family plan.

After using this ap for a month I can say this fails. At first it was too good to be true, then people started not getting my text, I wasn't receiving theirs, I would get duplicates randomly, sometimes my whole GV inbox would start crouding my text message inbox. Needless to say uninstalled now waiting for my GV number to be ported to T-Mobile so tired of GV lol

That never happened to me I never even use the voice app just the stock messaging one. How did u get our number to port and did cost to port it ?

Yeah. This app flat out blows.

It cost $3 for google to unlock your number so it can be ported out.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Does anyone else have issues using GVoice for voicemail? With every other phone I've had its been a 10 second setup, but with every rom I've tried on my S3 I can't get it to work.

Initially it cost me $20 to port my cell number to GV. Unfortunately, when I switched from Sprint to TMO, I could no longer use my cell number as my GV number.
Although since I have a 808 area code and now live in 843 area code, my new GV number is 843 area code.
