Three chats, several text messages and one phone call with Tracfone trying to address text message issue. They suggested changing phone number. Did it reluctantly for having had old number for so long, digit combo with certain significance. No sooner changed than the same spam texts, and spam...

Didn't work. The number I blocked is the phone number shown in 'Message Details.' Instead of blocking, I received two more texts!!! ARGH!! Some other number I should be looking for, attempting to block? I'd also looked at possibility of installing a blocking app from Google Play store but the...

Thanks. Took couple tries but was able to create a Contact for the phone number associated with the messages and there is option to block the number. (Just received another text. Frontier, for as large a communications concern as they are, should have the ability to just 'close' the ticket, with...

Back in early August, contacted Frontier for service on dead landline. In conjunction with tech visit, text messages for the work ticket were sent to my Alcatel Pixi Glitz I was using to contact them. Tech work was done on August 12th, but, TO THIS DAY, I continue to receive text messages...

Pixi is a Tracfone, with same phone number rolled over from previous Tracfones. Didn't have the 'Unknown' issue with the previous phones. Will see what they have to say. Thanks.

Recently posted regarding being new to using smartphone (yes, there's still one or two of us on the planet!), specifically Alcatel Pixi Glitz due to dead landline. Becoming more adept with using Pixi (and landline repaired). For some reason, landline has always displayed as 'Unknown' when...

THANK YOU!!! Slightly different path than what you posted ('Settings > Sound > System > Touch pad dial tones') has it working now. :) (Fairly certain I looked there, previously, but frustration can lead to incorrect assumptions.) Appreciate the help.

Anything possible but assumed it was more my unfamiliarity with the old device and general smartphone naivete. Rukbat's post pointed me in the right direction. :)

Fairly new to smartphones but able to navigate the basics. Only have the Alcatel on hand for emergencies. Forced into crash course using it when home phone died. Tried to contact phone company for repair but obviously necessitated working through their automated menus, however, nothing happened...
