I accidentally blocked the ability to send texts to competition numbers. Help!

[Android Central Question]

Ive tried getting help from my network provider but totally useless and I've tried looking through my phone settings with no luck.
Okay so I went to send a text to enter a comp, my phone then asks me to confirm I know it will charge me for texting to that number, there is also a tick box to select the option for it to stop warning you about that. I selected that, then another box came up with another two options but I didnt expect it so my finger already selected on something and now...what ever I've selected has blocked me being able to send texts to the number, and Im guessing probably any number that will charge my account.
Anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to the forums. Search for 'Premium SMS' in your settings and enable that option back. The right steps will depend on which phone you have and which version of android it is running.

Hi !
So I have been playing around with my phone for days now trying to enable my phone to answer PREMIUM MESSAGES.
I UNFORTUNATELY had blocked it by mistake when I got my new LG.
SO...here is how I got it to work again.
1) Go to Settings
2) Go to APPS
3) Scroll down to MESSAGING
4) Scroll down to MESSAGE APP
5) Click on SPECIAL ACCESS
6) Click on PREMIUM ACCESS
7) Click on yellow MESSAGING icon
8) Choose ASK
9) Restart your phone
10) Trying replying to a premium message if you can, it will ask you if you want to be asked every time you send a text or ALWAYS ALLOW.

AND DONE !!! Good luck, I know it’s a little easier with a Samsung.
