Watch line is sending message blocking text
When I text message Android phones the receiver gets a text message from my Apple watch (which is paired with my Iphone) saying “Free Msg: Receiver unable to receive message - message blocking is active.” This only started happening a few days ago. I checked all my iPhone settings and my T-Mobile settings and all the blocking options are off. I also turned both watch and phone off and back on and unpaired the two but neither of those worked. Any ideas?
Is my wife's family monitoring my text messages? Incoming Message not showing up in usage.
So, my messages on my usage show up outgoing and incoming every time I send and receive a message to, or receive from my wife. My messages to her mostly do not show up INCOMING to her number or phone, but her outgoing one’s always show up. Is someone monitoring them or what's the deal?
Not Able to Text links to my website
I have spent over a week troubleshooting as to why I can not send text messages with links to my website. I can send them via email, facebook messenger and even shorten them and send that way and they work. I just can’t send in a text. I can send any other links outside my website. There is absolutely no way I have anything remotely inappropriate on my website. There are no blocking features on my account but was told today after 4 hours with tech support it is possible that tmobile has put filtered messages. Everyone else can send links from my website to someone else but those that have tmobile can not generally speaking. I have reset my network and updated OS on my phone. I have updated app settings. I was not able to get a clear answer as to how many text messages are considered too much as I use lots of text messaging with links to my website with my business. I also couldn’t get a clear answer as to what kind of filtering of messages could be on my account. The tech today wasn’t sure if there was one but said a “possibility” eventhough over and over I have been told there are no blocking features. Tech support has exhausted every avenue to troubleshoot but there is still no resolution. I also do not like the options for the survey they send as I give the tech support 10 but I don’t know yet if i will recommend tmobile if they will not tell me why i have a possibility of a filter but can not tell what is after hours and hours of support. I believe they should be able to tell you if your account has been flagged and for what reason. There is no due process to determine if it was filtered in by mistake.
Disable MMS/Texting over WiFi
So I have the dreaded sporadic issues sending an receiving text message while connected to WiFi. Since there seems to be no solution, T-Mobile sent me a 4G hotspot for my house. While in theory that’s fine, I have better cell service in the house, I still want to use WiFi for my data. I have high speed internet for a reason. OK. To the point. I don’t want to turn WiFi off. That seems pointless. What I want to do is to Only Use Cellular Network for Texting, but I can’t find any way to do so. I turned off WiFi calling, but that was never an issue. It actually worked fine. What I want may not be possible. Just curious if there is perhaps a Setting I’m not aware of. I have a Samsung Galaxy 21 Ultra. Latest version of Android. I use the stock Samsung texting app (which could be the issue). TIA
Public access to personal video link?
Hello everyone, a few days ago my mother sent me a large file video. When the video was sent to me, it was sent as a link and not just a video. I am unable to do anything with the video other than view/play it, I can’t even download it. The main issue I am having is that the link says, “Large file available, click to Download/Play. This link will be publicly accessible by anyone for the next 3 days.” I am concerned about the “publicly accessible” part. I would like to point out that she has a Google Pixel and I have an iPhone 14. It was sent through RCS. It was NOT sent as a Google photo link, I tested that out and it looked different then this link. This link says it is a T-Mobile created link and not a Google photo link. Has this happened to anyone? Is the video truly publicly accessible or would someone need to have access to the link technically to view it? Please help!!
