I don't remember ever reading anything about this except for the sprint article a while ago.
But I started getting mms pictures from texts in my gmail that people are sending.
This has happened twice this year. This morning I woke up with a picture that came from [email protected] in my gmail.
I thought it was a fluke at first and now this second one really makes me want to know if I missed something somewhere. Is anyone else seeing this?
this is ATT N1 and the texts were from ATT phones not using google voice
This would be awesome if true...but I just tested it (sending from my regular AT&T number to my Google Voice number) and it didn't seem to work.
I did figure this out last night. One of those girls texted me from sprint, and pics showed in my gmail. My bad.
weird though that from a sprint phone you can mms a google voice number and it goes to email. It gets delivered from att so why not make it consistent across all carriers? I know.... carrier bs blah blah.

Heya.
I did a little research and finally noticed that I would never get picture messages, and I heard this is a problem with the Iphone as well. But i figure with the Tilt I should be fine. Why do my picture messages not work and it directs me towards ATT's Viewmymessage.com website? Any help? Thanks everyone! -Jeff
The iPhones does not have mms capability, but the Tilt does. You should check with AT&T if everything is correctly provisioned in their system. I have a Tilt and I get picture messages fine.
Hope this helps!
bump anyone?
Jeff,
Do you know what type of messages are being sent that you cannot receive? MMS, email, other? I have no idea what viewmymessage.com is but on the front page it says...
If you received a text message directing you to this site, then someone has sent you a multimedia message.
To view your message, enter the personal password that was included in your text message.

When you try that does it work?
I have AT&T also and have gotten MMS messages from Verizon and AT&T users without an issue. Maybe this viewmymessage.com service is related to where the message is originating from?
Hello.
I thought is was because of their service providers as well, but I've tried with people from T-mobile, Verizon and ATT and I always received the message without the pic..
It's a MMS, so it's a picture within a txt. I was reading online how this is setup because the iphone cannot received mms, so for the iphone they created this website to view photos within the txt.. But, I cannot understand for the life of me why I cant see pictures in my text's.
Interesting. Maybe AT&T thinks you have an iPhone? Are you on their iPhone plan? Also log onto your account and make sure your phone there isn't listed as the iPhone.
sounds to me like that's what the other persons phone is sending you to. nothing to do with your tilt. Like you could have a rzr and still see the same message. i get mms fine on my tilt with at&t
Yea I'm going to have to call them. It's def not the people sending it to me. I've gone online and ATT is showing me that I have a Tilt on their website, I'm just gonna give them a ring and see whats up.
I am sure this is a provisioning issue. I just called AT&T because of this and sms not getting to my phone and it was because of the way they setup my account. I am sure you will have this fix shortly.
Figured it out I think. I have a W810I registered with ATT because the net is cheaper on that phone. I only use my tilt 4 days out of the week and just dont use net on it those 4 days, cus 30 bucks is expensive. So i opted to just use my w810i for 15 bucks a month. I remember when i called they had to change the MAE or EMI whatever number to the old sony ericson, thats why they are not appearing correctly. This will be interesting...

I Have a Tilt flashed with HTC 6.1 and (I think, but haven't tested) sim unlocked (with the kaiser sim unlocker tool). I am using it on AT&T. I don't use text messaging that often so it hasn't bothered me too much, but all my AT&T friends can send me MMS (I don't recall if they've sent me any SMS). However, one of my Verizon friends sent me a few text messages and (when he finally called) asked me why I didn't respond. I told him I didn't receive the messages. I searched for "kaiser can't receive sms from other carrier" and didn't find anything helpful. I hope I'm not missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
If you've ported your number in from another carrier, you'll need to contact tech support to have them update your phone number.
If you're not able to receive a text from one particular person, that could be something different.
Oh thanks I did port my number from Verizon. Who should I call Verizon or AT&T?
I would call AT&T Customer Care and have them verify that there are no weird restrictions on your account related to SMS messaging.
As an example, a friend of mine who did not wish to receive SMS messages on his Verizon phone was able to call them and have all external messages blocked. But he was told there was no way to prevent other Verizon phones from sending him texts.
I would also have AT&T verify that your Test Message Service Center number is correct on your Tilt.
OK so first off I did try searching for a couple days before making this thread, but couldnt find anything.
So since getting my cappy and whatnot, was on an iPhone 3g (which is still under contract i will add), whenever i listen to voicemail or do anything vm related, i get weird text message from 1-000-000-0000 with a message that goes something like :
alpsgaacds01.attwireless.net:5400?f=0&v.....................................................................(jsut keeps going with random stuff.)
Any ideas on how to stop it?
Also I made sure in the voicemail settings, it has my number listed.
Go to your AT&T account and get rid of Visual Voice Mail. That's why you are getting the messages.

Unfourtantly there is no option to remove it in the wireless.att.com pages
I had the exact same problem.
I bought my Captivate from Be$tBuy on launch day and ditched my iPhone 3G, They messed up the transfer and never removed visual voicemail.
To fix it, you have to actually call AT&T to have them change you to a non visual-vm feature.
I need some help with GV, but I don't know if the problem is with my account or another GV account. Ok here's what is going on; my friend setup a GV number and account yesterday to use for our business and it goes straight to voicemail when *I* call it. One of our other friends called it sitting right next to us and his phone rings like normal. But I have been trying since last night and it has never rang once, it only says something like "the Google Voice subscriber is unavailable. He said this morning that no one at work is having any trouble with that number either, why is it just me?
We have the EXACT same settings on the app, the EXACT same settings on the web version, he can call my GV number and it rings just fine, I have called his GV number with my GV number AND my Verizon number. Nothing works and I have tried everything! Do Not Disturb is not checked, he has no special call settings for particular numbers, groups, days or times.
It's almost like it's blocking me automatically, but everyone else has no problem. I have had GV since it came out and have never had a problem before. Can anyone please help?
Try deleting your number then add it back.
I can't believe what it was, the only reason I don't feel totally dumb is because it was his fault. He had 2 of the numbers switched around when he texted the phone # to me. In his defense though, he did just get the new number that day. But still, I could've killed him.
Hi,
Just got the verizon S8 a week ago and this has been driving me nuts. When my gf calls, her name doesn't come up. Only displays her number. My contacts are on my gmail account. All other contacts i have show up. She has an iphone and her name showed up on my old s5. Her phone is already set to display caller ID and so is mine. I spend like a few hours aday trying to troubleshoot this.. No luck whatsowever. Weird thing is, sometimes when she calls, her number appears with a ;oli=62 behind it. Example: 714-555-5555;oli=62. I googled oli (originating line information) but it makes no sense to me..
Things i've tried already:
1) resync gmail contacts
2) deleted her contact on gmail/phone/etc
3) readded her contact to phone internal storage and also gmail again
4) tried in safe mode to see if a application is blocking it
5) rebooted phone of course
6) re-adding her contact info with her data deleted from gmail
7) called verizon support
8) and last but not least.. reset/restored original s8 to factory
HELP.. i was gonna try to exchange the phone for another s8 but i really don't think that might be the issue.. i tried researching IPHONE issues with caller ID not showing up but all her settings seems correct.
Thanks in advance.
Same...
I'm having the same issue on my Note 5 after updating to Nougat. I'm having the issue with only one friend, no one else.
I found a temp fix. Go to your a computer and log into your Google contacts. Add that weird number. Example. 555-555-5555;oli=62 to the contact along with the regular number. That should fix it.

Same issue on my new s8+, adding the number plus ;oli=62 on the Google contacts via editing from your Google contacts from googles website works great, thanks for the work around. The only problem I have with these Samsung devices is the slow ass updates. Their still on 7.0 even though 7.1.2 has been released for months
Me too. I have a Note 5 on VZW. Pretty sure it started after the Nougat update as well. And also for only one contact. I know I could add those characters to the contact info, but I want to know why the heck it happens for only one contact. Found this info (not that it cleared up jack for me, lol) - https://www.dialogic.com/webhelp/IMG1010/10.5.3/WebHelp/oli_isdn_sip.htm
i have this same problem. It is on a S6 and has been happening since before the Nougat update. It only happens to me for 2 contacts 1 full time and the other off and on. If i look at the missed calls screen afterwards the phone displays the correct contact just during the incoming call is it not displaying.
the problem actually stopped for me around the time of the roll-out and then started back up a week or so later.
The only connection that i can find is that both of them use Family mobile (T-mobile) service.
Last time i researched this problem, i found the same problem a few years ago with T-mobile and VOIP phones but never found a solution
its the feds
Are you just being a douche or are you serious?

This is the same problem I'm having. I have the S8 on Verizon the two contacts whose numbers don't work are both on T-Mobile. One of the numbers it happens to constantly and has the xxx-xxx-xxxx;oli=62 while the other number does it intermittently w/o the extra's at the end.
"Me To" Bus
Ok, I'm a "Me to" I blocked all phone calls except for people in my contacts, because of all the Spam calls.
But my best friend gets blocked because of this problem.
I have a Samsung S4 Note, Also using Verizon. And google contacts.
I'm going to save him only under Verizon Contacts. And see if that does anything.
He is using a Blu Phone and also using T-Moble.
Anyone have any idea's?
Jim
my phone just started doing this when I installed a reminder ap. I uninstalled it, and it stopped. Hope this helps.
