However, in any event I can help you through it provided that you are using a Motorola phone. To do it, you simply select the message you want to lock, by highlighting it in the list of messages. Then you can press your 'menu/function' button and there should be the option to lock/unlock the message. Simply select the feature and the message should be locked.
The thing is that by locking the message, it only means that it cannot be changed/modified or deleted. It doesn't mean that it will be locked with a password or something like that. So if that is what you were going for then you would have to use another form of locking.
Keep in mind that we are dealing with Motorola phones here and the instructions that I just gave you above are generic enough to work with most handsets.
Is it possible to text to a person in another country who has their service and not the United States phone service? You will need to register with an online service. Since America uses CDMA and a majority of the rest of the world uses GSM the txt must be translated from one type to another. If you go to a website called http://www.ipipi.com/<---****HYPERLINK****--->"http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main'q=&url=http://www.ipipi.com/" target="_blank">(Alexa) it will tell you all about it, and you can then register with them. You send your message to IPIPI they translate it and forward it on to the person you intended it for. There is a minimal charge for the service.
In comparing the 3310 to the 6630, it appears that the 6630 Smartphone gives you several options as it relates to SMS messages, where the 3310 did not. With the 6630, it is my understanding that you need to define the Message Centers first, much like you set up addresses in your address book and then when a person you have in your address book calls you, their name is associated.
In order to view the Message Centre of an SMS message, you first have to make sure that the Log is turned on. On Page 26 of the User Manual for the 6630, it shows how to set this up:
- Monitoring all communication events
- Monitor all voice and video calls, text messages, or data connections registered by the phone, press [the ring looking button] and select Log, and press to open the general log. For each communication event, you can see the sender or recipient name, phone number, name, service provider, or access point
-You can filter the general log to view just one type event and create new contact cards based on the log information. Subevents, such as a text message sent in more than one part and packet data connections, are logged as one communication event. Connections to your mailbox, multimedia messaging centre, or Web pages are shown as packet data connections
Never string them along. If you are not interested, you are not interested. Never pass the time or cure your own boredom by replying to romantic text messages with flirty texting that may give the impression you are interested. Rather, simply do not respond at all, or respond only to say that you are not interested.
If you have stopped responding, but the romantic text messages still keep coming, you will have to get firm. Send a very strongly worded text message asking him or her to stop texting you. You may say something like - Go away (or something stronger!). Please do not text me anymore. If you continue to text me, I will be forced to report you to the authorities. Keep it short and free of vulgarity. Avoid using any terminology that could be misinterpreted.
Start keeping a log of the unwanted romantic text messages you are receiving. List the times, dates, and amounts of texts you are getting from this person. If you have the ability to save or download the texts to the computer, do so for documentation purposes.
If you had been using a mobile phone dating service at the time you began texting this person, review all the policies of that service. If the service has a customer service phone number or email, attempt to contact the service to see if they can stop these unwanted romantic text messages. If you have not yet exchanged contact numbers with this person and he or she is still contacting you through the cell phone dating service, then the service may be able to help.
If you had already exchanged contact information with this person, and he or she is sending the romantic text messages directly to your cell phone, try contacting your mobile phone service provider. They may be able to do something to block this persons text messages and phone calls.
If the romantic text messages at any time become at all threatening, you should consider filing a police report. It is especially important to go to the police if this person knows where you live, work, or regularly hang out. Just by having the police let this person know they have been contacted may stop the text messaging.
If all else fails and you are unable to get any help with these unwanted romantic text messages, you may want to consider changing your phone number. As this can be somewhat of a hassle, you would only want to consider this if the text messages were becoming completely out of hand or threatening.
Always remember that if the person already knows enough about you, especially if he or she knows where you live, then simply changing your number does not mean you are completely safe. This is why it is always a good idea to let the local authorities know about the problem.
