BlackBerry

Hi,

I know this is a really odd question but I will explain. 

I have a Blackberry 9300, and I have it set so that I only receive texts from my CONTACTS and if any other number texts the texts get blocked. I don't want to allow all texts from all numbers, so I was wondering, so I can receive the offers and notification texts from vodafone, what is the number that is used to send these texts? So I can add it to my contacts. Every month or so, I get 2 blocked texts, and I am presuming they are from vodafone because nobody else (apart from my contacts) have my number and I am very strict about who has my number, (which is why I only allow texts from contacts)

Hi!

Al the promotional texts i have recieved from Vodafone VIP have come from 66060.

Service messages about the Vodafone network or changed to T+C etc don't usually have a number.

Thanks for your reply! I will make sure to add that number to my contacts.

What do service message usually say? I mean, are they important that I would need to read them? And what is T+C??

[Nabs]

The Vodafone VIP stuff sent via 66060 is usually just updates about what competitions etc they are running.

Services messages would be like notification messages telling you your near your limit or letting you about updates to services on your account. Service messages don't come from a number as they are sent from a computer. They have the sender name set as Vodafone but that is the only way you can recognise them.

T+C's = Terms and Conditions, you would normally be notified by text if these were changing.

The VIP stuff is entirely optional but the service messages are often important and relate to certain aspect of your account.

Oh right I see.

Well I did the same with voicemail, I added it to my contacts and it is under the name 'Voicemail' there was no number.

Is there a way I can have a service message sent to me, so that I can add it to my contacts, the number/name that it sends from?

[Nabs]

If it works for voicemail the same shoudl work again if you just add a contact named Vodafone with no number

I'm not sure if this is possible. Maybe one of the Tech Team could find out?

[Purple_Rainx]

Ah, well the thing was I got my friend to leave me a voicemail message so I could add the sender to my contacts.

Okay, how do I contact them? Or should I wait to see if they respond to this?

[Nabs]

Sit tight they will reply on this thread and be able to get in contact with you
