This is a Verizon thing. Ozmail is a service they use. If you find a Verizon tech that knows about it, they can stop these notifications. It took a couple of trys for me to find someone atVZW that was aware of it. They fixed it though. Just call tech support 1-800-922-0204 and keep asking until they put you through to someone whos knows how to stop the OZMAIL notifications!

I started getting massive amounts of text messages from OZMAIL as well, and after looking for the answer everywhere on the internet, I finally fixed the problem using the following combination:

I sent a few emails to that account and sure enough, I got the same amount of texts back

I sent an email to every email account I had until I found the one that would trigger the text to come up on my phone.

I isolated my texts to hotmail so I enabled text notification(which weren't enabled) and changed the notifications to none. Pretty frusrating but that stopped them.

Then I did exactly the above - the account that was affected was hotmail, so I went to my inbox, clicked on "options" in the top right corner, clicked on more options, then clicked on the last option under "Reading Mail" called "Mobile alerts for new messages." At first I overlooked this because it wasn't enabled, but then I read the above post I quoted and sure enough, you have to sign up for it, then go back under the preferences and disable it (to do that, I had to click on "sign up for windows live mobile" again in order to bring up the options for it, then you can find "Set up Alerts preferences").

After doing this, I sent another email to myself on that account, and voila - no more OZMAIL text messages.

I hope this helps someone!!!

Has anybody had this issue resolved? I started getting these texts with my 2nd replacement charge. I'm on number 4 now and still have this issue. I have called Verizon 7 times now and they don't know what to do!!!!!!!

VZW can place a stop on anything you want stopped.. i recieved a text that had a pic in it, and in a few was told by VZW that "That service cost 10 bucks a month" i told VZW i didnt ask for it and certainly was not aware of extra cost and to block all such calls text etc from my phone.. so that ended that..now to get rid of those "groupons" they drive me nutty since they come in as email and i think its important from a friend only to see i can get a widget for 50 cents.. or whatever..

The only way I got them stopped was to uninstall my third party SMS client. For some reason, GOSMS would grab the email notification as a text message from OZMAIL. Once I uninstalled the SMS client, the Ozmail texts stopped. Its happened with Handsent SMS and GoSms, so I think it has something to do with the notification itself.
Wish I could fix it because I LOVE GoSMS

Back in March 2012, I began to receive these OZmail Text messages. Though Verizon tried to block them, they still coming at a rate of 15 to 20 a day. I ended up downloading a free apps "Mobile Manager" that finally blocks all these text messages. Two months later, I am still getting these messages at the same rate.
