You can slow down the call speed by going to My Account–>Update under Preferences.

Then, you can adjust your call speed as needed!

Here are some tips to make sure you don’t receive those pesky texts anymore:

1. You can change your preferences of message sources that are allowed to be sent to your phone with your carrier. Short codes (like Call-Em-All’s 292929) have rules that must be followed, including honoring STOP, CANCEL, and QUIT.  Every short code must be tested and approved before it is allowed to send messages.  Long codes (10-digit numbers, e-mail addresses, etc) do not have such administration.

If you’re an AT&T customer, you can manage your preferences at this site. Verizon customers, you can also manage these preferences then go to the Spam Blocking tab.

2. If a specific 10-digit phone number continues to spam your cell phone, you can contact your carrier to block a certain number. (If you use AT&T, you can do so here.)

3. According to the New York Times, replying to the message, even with words like Stop, Cancel, or Quit, may verify to the spammers that you have a working number that can be resold.

4. Therefore, the best tactic to prevent SMS spam is to not reply to the message and forward the message to 7726 (SPAM) to notify your carrier so they can investigate.

5. If you have a smartphone, there may be apps you can download to prevent spam. For Androids, we hear that the Anti SMS Spam & Text Filter is a useful app.

From graphics to clothes to party designs, Pinterest is a great way to connect with what your friends and contacts currently like.

I (Elise) have been seeing several different companies and individuals create some awesome graphics with some of their favorite quotes. I figured I would give it a try! That way, we could also use them as backgrounds and such. I have even printed out a few and put them on my desk and in picture frames!

Without further ado:

Do you have a Pinterest? We’d love to connect!

You’ll want to make sure you’re calling 866-623-7525, and you’ll enter in your User ID and PIN that you use to log into the website.

Instead of pressing 1 to send to everyone, you’ll press 2 to send it to a specific group. Then, you’ll enter in the List ID number of the group.

You’ll need to know the List ID of the group that you’ll be calling ahead of time. You can find this in your Contact list by dragging your mouse over the group name.

You’ll see it above the list of names & numbers as well:

Then, record your message, and press 1 to accept it!

1. Click on the broadcast name under Completed Broadcasts on your homepage.

To edit a time for a broadcast that hasn’t started, you will click on the broadcast name on the home page. This will take you to the broadcast details button where you can press the edit button on the left side of the page.

From there, you can change the Caller ID that is displayed when your recipient receives the call, the broadcast name, and the day and time the broadcast is sent.

If you need to add a number, you can do so by clicking +Add a Phone Number above the names and numbers.

It’s important to note that if you’ve already recorded the audio for the broadcast and need to change the audio, you will need to create a new broadcast since the audio is already written into the database.

A recent article on CNN.com states that “when you receive a spam text message on your phone, forward that text to the short code 7726 (which spells “SPAM”). You’ll then receive an automated message from your wireless carrier, asking you then to enter the phone number from which the spam text was sent.”
