T-Mobile Account: Block Spam

I had received several unsolicited messages to my handset. These messages are those which came from four digit service numbers, usually starts with 3###.

I do not have messaging plan so every time I receive this messages I incur 20¢ up from 15¢ since last month. So I called t-mobile (that was like four months ago) and asked them to block SMS (txt messaging) totally. He said that they cannot do that since SMS is an inherent feature of the GSM system. But I had doubts about that.

Just recently I found the answer. I went to my account online (T-Mobile website) and under my account, there is a change plan option. In there you can customize your account to your liking. Some at a cost and some are free. Here’s a screen shot of what I am talking about.



You need to know some account holder specifics to confirm the changes on the account.
I didn’t know when t-mobile added this feature selection. I just came to that page to explore my account…

That’s it!

Hope this helps.

The Google Chrome Incognito Promise

Google chrome browser offers browsing anonimity (to browse webpages anonimously) and not leaving any tracks after your session.

Google states that:

Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
  • Websites that collect or share information about you

  • Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit

  • Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys

  • Surveillance by secret agents

  • People standing behind you

Google chrome - ad blocking



I think this particular function is a handicapped Google chrome feature: The ability to block ads

As everybody knows, a major contributing part for the billion USD revenue of Google is through online advertisements. Blocking it will be similar to denying oneself of existence. Although there are other source of revenues, this is just my opinion.

I am a happy Firefox user and the adblock function is doing its job most of the time. But adblock plugin isn't perfect, it may block a particular portion (or script) that contains its blocking keyword. This is all up to the user to tune up to its taste.

Google is a supporter of open source so thanks to their effort it wouldnt be long for a third party app to be loaded. In relation to this item, you can read from this article.

Other tweaks that are mushrooming can be found here.

OK, enjoy your halloween weekend.
