Can someone decipher this msg from my iPhone.

14 years ago

I received the following message on my iPhone. Something the same or similar appeared previously. Then came an episode that opened up the monster that AVG can be and funky

emails like one I received today. I will use superantispyware after this message.

Can anyone decipher this? Is it harmful?

Also, here I am putting a potenitally harmful message that appeared on my phone and am giving it to you.

You haven't dinged me before for doing this but are there any rules to keep you safe?

This is why Shaddy's question about viruses on cell phones is so important to me.

This is a text message? All kinds of people/companies send spam text messages.

iPhones are pretty secure because of the nature of the operating system unless you've jailbroken the phone, then all bets are off.

I suspect in a climate like Alabama where there is plenty of rain throughout the year, in spite of dry periods in summer, you aren't going to need to worry about alkali sodium salts in munipical water. This is assuming the plants are in ground and get that rain water - different if they were in a covered house. OTOH in dry climates, long term use of such water could be a problem.

Buying iPhone from Apple Store or Provider Store?

I bought my iPod and iPhone from my local Apple Store. I have been in many times to ask questions and they are very happy to answer them. The Apple stores have several free workshops where you can learn all about the phone. When I buy my next computer it is going to be an Apple in large part because I can drive 10 minutes and ask questions about my new computer, not have to talk to someone across the globe! Ginny

It means that since the property was an inheritance, that the current owner and agent "know nothing" about whether or not there were permits pulled for any renovations, or the age of any of the home systems, or if the there is a buried oil tank on the property, or if there is someone on the sex offenders database living next door, of if the property across the street was just sold to be demolished and have a convenience store put in it's place,........ In other words, it's a heads up to do your due diligence very well, as they aren't disclosing anything about the property, because they "don't know". It's similar to many foreclosed homes. If you buy it and find that buried oil tank on the property, then tough luck, it's yours to clean up. So, check with your local record keeping municipality, any fuel oil suppliers, any criminal databases, and don't just have a home inspection, have an actual trade come out and assess any areas that may have been flagged on the home inspection report, within reason. If the house is 40 years old, and the HVAC looks all original, I wouldn't bother with a HVAC specialist, as you'll be replacing all of that anyway. However, if the HI report comes back that the home only has a 60 amp service, I'd want an electrician to give me an idea if new service from the pole was needed or if the panel itself needed upgrading and more distributing wire run to the rooms. Same with the plumbing. If it's galvanized, or a hodgepodge of visible repairs to the copper in the basement, then you know to budget fixing it no matter what, no need for a plumber's opinion. So, do your due diligence, but given the age of the house, also plan on needing a decent amount of reserve should one of those major systems fail before you can get to it in time.

As someone who sells Dynsasty/Omega, I have to clear up a few things about the line. :) Unless you are doing one of the very special doors only offered in Omega, you could save at least 10-15% by doing the design in Dynasty, with only a few select ones that are needed to be totally custom, done in Omega. Second, any cabinet door will have adjustable hinges, and WILL need to be adjusted occasionally. Display doors take a lot of abuse, getting tossed into people's vehicles and bumping around, so it's not surprising that that it could need adjusted. All of them will, at some point. Third, the paint finishes offered in Omega do have different sheen levels available. But, I've never found that the paint in either Dynasty or Omega to look "plastic". :) I have a whole kitchen in Pearl, and it's a subtle low sheen. Not all all plastic looking. :) [Transitional Kitchen Cabinets[(https://www.houzz.com/products/transitional-kitchen-cabinetry-prbr1-br~t_437~s_2112) by Other Metro Kitchen & Bath Designers ProSource Memphis [Transitional Kitchen Cabinets[(https://www.houzz.com/products/transitional-kitchen-cabinetry-prbr1-br~t_437~s_2112) by Other Metro Kitchen & Bath Designers ProSource Memphis [Transitional Kitchen Cabinets[(https://www.houzz.com/products/transitional-kitchen-cabinetry-prbr1-br~t_437~s_2112) by Other Metro Kitchen & Bath Designers ProSource Memphis

This a text message. I want to know if it is dangerous.
Don't know what jailbroken is.

However, Raven did a nice job of helping Shaddy above and gave a link.

If anyone has a clue about this message and can read it. I'd like to know if there are key words that denote garbage. It sez free message will stop. I got that before as I said.

I don't know but you don't seem to be alone. Nor does it seem to be new: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=Freemsgs%3Awill+stop+automatically

Go to sprint.com and block the sms number.
Got that awhile ago when I went from a Rumoe to a Q9.
Sprint uses a "push" service for email. The push comes from a sms, that the phone silently drops, that triggers an email poll.
When phones are switched, without the push being turjed off on the old phone, sprint keeps sending the sms for awhile.

The sprint cs rep I talked to back then had no clue abiut how to stop it so I blocked it.

That comes from http://www.everythingpre.com/forum/threads/strange-sms-message-i-keep-receiving.18815/ and sounds plausible I suppose.

I don't really know but to me it doesn't seem to be malicious, just an annoyance.

sorry folks, i haven't felt well today.
now about the message. i saw it before - last week or two. I now can send no email messages..I fixed it by working on the mail settings and then it worked.

Chugger, Nice find. Thans for going the distance. It is old yes. I have gone to the source = I believe comcast ( or sprint) = and deleted all my email messages for the last couple of weeks and called the suspicious ones spam. This message is a text message I received. You are right I need to do something with text. I know the push system and I wiped out all emails by continually deleting on the phone. so i was only receiving current email. I will need to adjust the email settings.

RC, I swore i looked at your link that finds bugs for cell phones and it was for ios as well. sad that it isn't.

That's all for now.

I fixed the iPhone settings. It is fine.
Also, those who have iPhone with siri you can sometimes
hold the on/off button down and the power one at the same time as well and it will readjust. It has worked for me.

Back to bed.
