Weird request: I do NOT want people to be able to text me ...

Hello,

I've just ported over to TPG's $1 a month plan.

The plan is to basically keep my number while I'm overseas (the phone will be turned OFF).

 

However,  I don't want people to be able to text me.

I was under the impression I could go to:

Mobile Service Control Panel > diable receiving SMS, and that would be sorted.

Not so!

People can send a text to the number, I just don't receive it.

I'd rather people who send me an SMS get an 'error' so they no I haven't received it (otherwise they may keep texting thinking I'm a jerk!).

Does anyone know how I can achieve this pretty please?

Hi @nutfarmer 

 

Turning off SMS on the backend is not an option for your TPG mobile. You might just have to notify some of your contacts that you will be overseas.
