Hi All,

I am getting zillions of spam sms' everyday from tata docomo and loop mobile mumbai .. the sms' do not have any number displayed just TM and LM as the senders details .

TM : tata docomo mumbai . Lm loop mobile mumbai

this is very irritating .. getting weight loss , stock market and bloody all kinds of bulk msgs .

i am currently using a blackberry on vodafone and switching to an iphone only for this issue . is there any app in ios to stop such msgs.

there is an app in bb but it costs 19$ and i have no idea on how to purchase it ? even if i could, paying 19$ is ridiculous !!

bloody telecom dept is also useless as they aren't taking any action .

cant find any app in android either . and even if there is any app in android, its a paid app and i dont know how to buy paid apps in android . !

90% of all msgs are from TM : tat docomo .. airtel exited the bulk sms business last week so no sms from their network .

Regarding your question, you can look for iBlacklist on Cydia!

i buy my apps so tell me something that i can buy off the app store.. i find the quality of apps in the app store much better . i dont jailbreak .

Iblacklist works like a charm.Only thing is you have to jailbreak your iphone

There wont ever be an app for that on the AppStore. And btw, you need to BUY the app I mentioned on the Cydia store and not pirate it if thats what you were getting at!!

Are you facing any issues ? I guess the app is pretty self-explanatory :S

@pat i dont jailbreak cause it makes my phone slow .. i dont mind getting pirated apps but the phone is slow after jailbreaking and I get some ridiculous errors all the time so i stopped jailbreaking a long time ago . buying aps is more convinient for me ..

+ the DND thing is only with ur carrier .. it doesnt stop sms' coming from other carriers .

Thats not true. Once you are in the DND directory and past the 45-days deadline, you should be receiving absolutely no spam messages/calls from anyone. If you do get, you have the right to register a case against the offending sender.

I used to get a lot of junk too earlier. But they have reduced considerably ever since I registered for DND.
 
Re: How do I block spam sms from tata docomo and loop mobile mumbai on an iphone/andr

One important point being left out is how to register a case against a spammer who is ignoring DND. How does one confirm if the person sending the message is even within the jurisdiction of the DND service? Sometimes I receive a message from a regular mobile number, does this apply then?

Finally, how does one go about the issue when one receives messages from a site they registered with, like Nextworld.in. I bought one game from them and do not remember authorizing them to send me messages with their new stock. I tried emailing them to stop the messages, but it had no affect.

No jailbreaking doesn't make your phone slow in any way.Yes installing resource hungry apps like winterboard or running loads of apps(if you have enabled multi-tasking) will slow down your phone.Only install essential cydia apps and you'll be fine.

Guys really sorry for bumping this up, but how do I add filters so that I don't get spam using iBlacklist. I have registered for DND but it doesnt seem to work.
