settings\sounds & notifications\notifications tab

select Messaging: New text message from the "Event:" drop down menu

uncheck the "Display message on screen" tickbox.

click ok.

go have a beer and chill for a minute or two and voila! it bloody works!

I would also like to know if it's possible to turn SMS *receiving* off completely (i.e. so that the phone will "refuse" to accept SMS messages but will continue to receive regular voice calls).

Any suggestion? :)

Cheers!

You could just call your carrier and tell them to turn off sms on your account.

sure :cool: , but then again for voice you have unconditional voice forwarding that you can control yourself, whereas for SMSes you have... nothing! :(

i guess it would be easy to hack the phone to report something like "memory capacity exceeded" when the network tries to deliver a short message and you don't want to receive any messages, but want to still be able to receive phone calls. that would make the network store your message(s) and try to deliver later. i also guess that would be much easier than waiting for your operator to implement something like "unconditional sms forwarding" :rolleyes:

There are plenty of applications that will block SMS's. Photo Contacts Pro, SmartBlock, EasyHelper SMS, etc. A simple search would have turned up a ton of them.

If you go into the phone dialing app and go into options, there is a tab for "services" that is listed in there. It give you a number for the "text message service center" - you might get what you want by changing that to 0 or something. Not sure.

But yea, you should be able to call your carrier and have them turn this off. Since they charge you for incoming texts usually, they should have a way to opt out.

changing the service center no will not prevent your phone receiving short messages, it is only used when you send them.

over here operators don't usually charge for incoming text messages (unless it's from a special service). i remember that on the other side of the atlantic things are quite different :)
