[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
One of my friend's and I text a lot (well, we did) until her dad noticed we were texting at late hours and he blocked my number on her phone....so she cannot send texts to me and my texts don't get to her. This was all while she had a "dumb" phone, but recently she got an SIII.

Is there any way to get around this now that she has a smartphone? I'm talking about regular texts and not having to use a special app (i.e. Facebook, Skype, etc.) to send texts back and forth. She is currently unrooted and thus running stock JB obviously.

Would rooting do the trick? A certain rom out there maybe? Or is there some sort of process one can do to "unblock" my number on her phone? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Uggghh. I hate that I will have to be that dad one day soon. Thank God I am smart enough to thwart you young men. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Haha if I had a daughter Im sure I'd be doing the same thing....

But there has gotta be a way/hack/fix around it....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfetaz:
I am assuming that the block is on the account side, meaning she would need the vzw.com account password to unblock. If it was done on the phone itself I would imagine a factory reset would remove the block. Why dont you want to use third party apps like whatsapp? Some apps (can't think of names) can send free texts to legit cell numbers.

Sent from my unlocked VZW Galaxy S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
A Factory Reset on an unrooted, fully stock S3 will fix it you think? What about her apps? Does Titanium Backup work fully on unrooted, stock phones? I haven't been unrooted in a longggggg time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Can't you just use an app like tikl or tango just to sent the texts. I know you said no third party apps but they are free and if they work sounds much easier than having her root and find a hack.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
I know they are free and I know that we could text that way.....the reason why I want to be able to send regular texts to/from our regular numbers is because I tether constantly, every day, and my phone stays in the window for the strongest LTE connection and I use Airdroid to view and send texts from my phone while on my pc......can't do that with a 3rd party app, I'd have to get up every single time to view/respond to the texts....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TXI Kaze:
Not if she gets a third party texting app that allows her to text your number from the app and vice versa.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
We are trying that now with Pinger...her sending me a text from her Pinger # to my regular cell number.....but surprisingly its not working....Is this the method you were talking about?

Do you know of another app that will actually work in this way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Well we got it to work for the time being via the HeyFree app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] barrackOBAMA:
Soo many third party apps will work.

Factory reset, root, custom rom will have no effect.

And what are you guys like 11? Haha got her dad blocking your number, I'm weak.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HypostaticOnion:
My personal favorite is Google voice. Completely free, it can be used through the browser as well. Its also a wonderful visual voicemail client of sorts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightwind Hawk:
I second that. It seems best to use Google Talk or Facebook Messenger.... then you guys can be "chatting" but you can just do it from your desktop browser and she can do it on her phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
OP, I saw you have another thread started trying to help this girl get around something else her father set up regarding the use of her phone. Let me, as the father of a 23 year old daughter, give you a little piece of advice.

He has blocked your number from texts and stopped her data at 10:30pm. He is doing that for a reason and apparently doesn't like you very much either. I understand that you think you are trying to help her, but what you are doing is causing yourself more problems with the dad. I am guessing that neither of you are very old, hence the curfew on the data. You are looking for "hacks" to get around what he has done to, what he thinks is for the betterment of his daughter. You would be better served to work on your relationship with him than to really piss him off by going against him. Just remember, Daddy's little girl is his entire world that he would gladly die for and you are going to get into more trouble that you can imagine or would ever want to be in by messing with her and his wishes.

My advice would be to get onto his good side if you haven't already screwed that up and you may find the "hacks" that you are looking for. Alternatively, you could put another phone on your plan and give it to her for texting. Good luck and remember that some things cannot be undone after you do them........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
Seems like Google Voice could be a good solution.... You get a different phone # and you can send/receive texts from any PC at voice.google.com
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
I would say hhf2 had the best idea and option for you. You may not like it but it is the truth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
Thank god I do not have a daughter....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
Haha I think no man wants a daughter :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
That is actual VERY incorrect. While a boy you would consider your little "mini me", a daughter is your princess. The biggest concern is that they are healthy. Sure there are things that a guy wants a son for, but make no mistake about it, there are things that you are just as proud of with a daughter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cstrife999:
Damn straight. I honestly wanted a boy at first but when little cherrylin came out she decided she would be my most favorite thing in the world
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] parzec:
If I were the girl's dad and found her circumventing my efforts, I would cancel her number and sell her phone on eBay. Problem solved. As long as she is a freeloader living off her dad's hard work, she needs to obey his rules or move out and pay her own way.

With that being said, you could add another line to your account and buy her a phone with unlimited calling/texting/data plan. But my guess is that you are also living off of your parents generosity and don't have the financial resources to pay for your own phone much less your friends.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
I agree 100%. Some kids these days have no respect at all. I applaud her dad for actually being a parent and caring enough about her to not take the easy way out and let her have her way. Just look at what you see on television and read everywhere about what under supervised children are doing today. I mean piss me off and I will be packing a gun at school tomorrow is how some of these spoiled little brats think. I for one will never help or encourage a kid to disobey or circumvent a parent's rule. My daughter is 23 and still calls me for advice and believe me, she had rules just like the OP's "friend" has.

Okay, I am getting off of the soapbox this morning, LOL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] engagewithrage:
sdf

I believe the number is blocked via the Verizon website (or whichever carrier she has), you may want to try using a third party text messaging app (there are plenty to choose from.:highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Whoa whoaaaa guy!! It's not this super-intense/steamy/wrong thing you think it is, and I am not some voice-cracking 15 year old dude slingin spitballs in high school either, haha, quite the opposite. I applaud her dad's efforts and what he has done, I know and understand why he is doing what he is doing and completely agree with him and I am sure I will be doing the exact same thing when I have kids someday, possibly even stricter.

Anyway, we found a workaround and it'll do just fine.
[One (M7) General] dragzer223:
I just got the email to register my information and to see if I'm qualified for the $100 gift card or if the phone is greater. As long as your phone is still usable with no damage you will something. I'm pretty happy because I'm going to get $100 gift card for this crappy Samsung Intercept that I have been patient with for so long lol.

Now all I need is the 'One' and life will be good :laugh:

[One (M7) General] levman:
I'm currently on a Motorola Photon, but I also still have my previous phone, an HTC Touch Pro2... I'm thinking about turning in the TP2 for the $100 gift card, and turning the MoPho over to Sprint for the $40 statement credit... Double dipping.

Only reason I've been keeping the TP2 around was for occasional international travel, as the MoPho is a little hit and miss when it comes to recognizing data capabilities on foreign SIM cards (has something to do with being unable to read the APN on the SIM). I've actually used the TP2 as a wireless hot spot for my MoPho when traveling internationally, which is goofy. Hopefully the One won't have this problem, never was able to figure out if the problem was caused by Motorola, Sprint, or some combination... Each kept pointing at the other.

[One (M7) General] Maedhros:
Quick question...

My sister lives in Chicago. If I were to purchase a Canadian HTC One and got her to send in my phone would I qualify?

[One (M7) General] Dannar:
I wonder how this works? I'm on vzw with a thunderbolt, and will probably break my contract in march when the one comes out. When it says carrier, does it mean the one your trade in is on, or the one you'll get your One on?

Wonder if that means I can trade in my thunderbolt without the SD card it came with...
[One (M7) General] bugsy:
I believe it's the carrier the one is going to be registered on. I plugged in an old treo i had laying around and it accepted it on the site so it doesn't look like it's limited in any way other than the pre-registration and the purchase date on the one.

[One (M7) General] trineomorph:
So part of the fine print says that a phone must be activated and in service for 60 days. Since I am on prepaid (straight talk) and buying the phone from the UK. Will I qualify?
[One (M7) General] Dannar:
And what about root status?

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
[One (M7) General] Nfinity:
Seems that many of you are looking into trading in those older, practically worthless phones, but the small print states that they have the right to reject the trade in credit if the mailed phone is not the phone used at the time of the One's activation.

My question is, how would they know that? I was all on board to send in my Omnia II SCH - i920 for the Sprint One I'm going to purchase (in place of the Nexus S 4g I'm currently rocking) but now I"m worried I'm sending them a free Omnia II by doing that.

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

I don't see anywere in the fine print making any mention of your case, but they do have customer service which you can contact.

There is no mention (That I see) of a root status resulting in disqualification, though it wouldn't hurt to restore it to factory settings. Better safe that sorry. =)
[One (M7) General] dragzer223:
I did read that they could reject it too, but I don't think it says anywhere on the receipt what phone you're upgrading from correct?

I guess when the phone comes out, we got some trial and error to do...
[One (M7) General] purin:
Does this have to be a smart phone? Can it be like a Moto Razr or LG Shine? I have these sitting around... The T&C doesnt say either way, just "Device" but the email refers to "smartphone".

Are we able to try out different trade in values when you go back to the site to put your info in? I didnt want to submit and get locked into only being able to use the Moto Razr and tell me that it doesn't qualify.

thanks

You have to go through with the link they send you in your email, and put in your code and they give you a list of phones you can choose from so its probably a no go on any dumb phones.

[One (M7) General] mchinand:
Good news and bad news. Good that those that want to will be able to participate in the program, but bad in the sense that the release of the HTC One is probably delayed (to what extent is unknown). Also, It would seem that the extension of the trade up program contradicts HTC's recent statements that the delays in manufacturing will have no effect on the HTC One release timeline in the U.S.
[One (M7) General] nickmgray:
I got a statement from HTC regarding the new HTC One Upgrade promo date changes.

http://htcsource.com/2013/03/htc-th...ne-upgrade-promotion-deadline-dates-extended/

“HTC is thrilled with the positive response we have received to our $100 trade-up offer. Due to this, we are extending the offer for customers who purchase the HTC One by 4/26 and trade in their old device by 5/31. We are pleased to bring this offer to even more customers so they can upgrade to the HTC One at an amazing price.”

It's your typical PR statement, but we may be looking at a U.S. delay as well.
[One (M7) General] dragzer223:
Well its a good thing they extended the deal for us because that was mostly what I was worried about.

And if a delay is on our hands...that's fine...I've waited this long. I suppose I could wait a tad bit longer lol.
[One (M7) General] Wallaby8:
I currently have an rooted AT&T GSII that shows a yellow warning triangle on boot since it is rooted. Do you guys think I should try to get rid of that or just restore to factory settings and forget about it? The terms don't say anything about the phone being rooted, but better safe than sorry.
[One (M7) General] mang0:
I would say you should probably unroot / go to stock. Shouldn't take too much of your time, and you wouldn't want to send your phone in, not get the $100 credit, and not get your phone back either.
[One (M7) General] Dannar:
Does this deal stack with the free case + shipping?

I wonder if you can order it through AT&T and still get all the perks?

[One (M7) General] upyouratrix:
I have a Nexus One that's running CM6 that I'm going to use for the $100 visa card. Love that old phone, but there's no way else I'd get $100 for it considering the age. Phone is still a 8/10. Also, I don't see how they would know what phone I upgraded from... Guess we'll all be finding out shortly! Can't wait to pick up my One in just over a week :)
[One (M7) General] pdubcramp:
I wonder if they can even enforce these terms and conditions:

"Clover Wireless has the right to reject any trade-ins for promotional trade-in submissions where 1) the used device is submitted by anyone other than the user of the used device and 2) when the used device was not active at the time of the new device purchase and 3) the trade-in voucher was not agreed to by you and 4) there is an invalid proof of purchase or 5) we believe there to be fraudulent intentions. Without a valid Proof of Purchase, you will not be paid the promotional trade-up amount."

So I plan to made use of this offer from HTC by mailing in my old Epic 4g for $100. Does any know if I can send in the phone without the micro SD card? I have music and ton of photos on it and to be honest, I would rather keep a 16gb card then lose it.. Would HTC still accept the phone without external sd card? Everything else i working fine (screen, battery, no cracks, etc..)
[One (M7) General] tsekh501:
I didn't have any old phone that is on the list (no way I am going to send my Nexus 4 for just $100) so I searched eBay for some used phone. I ended up getting a HTC tilt for $20 and after using my eBay bucks it costed me just $1. It arrived a few days ago... in mint condition! Now I just need my HTC One...
[One (M7) General] naz4viper:
OK so I did some digging on the Trade Up program website, notably this:

I'm surprised that the battery is mentioned as an optional accessory. Based on this logic, I would imagine sd card is too..? I mean the phone is simply NOT functional without the battery. But it is if there's no sd card installed.. I better get $100
[One (M7) General] Perez92:
