Problems with VoiceMail

[SeriousBlack25]

OK im stump on this problem, I have a problem for whenever i receive a voicemail it comes up as a text of random numbers...I'm running Fresh 2.0d Chompsms i just installed Google voice but no luck...its not Fresh D that didnt cause it, it was when 2.0b and Damage came out that started it....

heres a pic of what i get when i get voicemail....oh and when i call it says there's nothing there...thanks for the Help!

Is this the stock SMS or something like Handcent?

From what I have read STOCK SMS shouldn't do this but the aftermarket ones do.

The fix is simple.

Blacklist it.

Have you went in and set up your voice mail?

I am having no problems with my VM. I am using Handcent and was getting the texts.

I don't know SeriousBlack... I had youmail and forgot to delete the account when it went to fresh 2.0d but then deleted it and went back to Sprints VVM and am still getting the txts, I have no idea how to get rid of them, but would love to find out!

BLACKLIST the incoming texts.

How do I blacklist a text from a totally randomly generated number from who knows where? Is there an option to blacklist unknown numbers?

In Handcent, longpress the offending texters # or name. a menu will pop up allowing you to blacklist that sender.

I hope that stops them. Also, I can't figure out how to set my vvm back up, after wiping and flashing fresh. My vm is just the same old vmailbox I had on my old phone... I've been playing with the settings and the menus within the vm app, but I can't find how to set vvm back to the way it was. Any ideas?

This doesn't answer his question. If the texts are generated from a random/unknown number, long pressing and blacklisting does nothing except block that one number. That does no good when the next text comes from a different number.

Yes, this is ture...my personal experience in 6 or 7 months with the Hero is that I received texts from one or two such random/unknown numbers, and blacklisted them both. I have not received any more. But you are correct, this doesn't stop all unknown/unwanted texts. I'm not sue that is doable, or that you would even want to. You might miss a contact from an old friend!

Blacklisting, I guess, ignores people. It stops their texts from arriving at your phone.

I've been married a long time and have nothing to hide from my spouse, nor does she feel the need to look at my texts.

Makes sense. Hadn't considered that senerio, as my kids are all out of the house.

You know there is a pattern lock available for the phone it self? right?
