It&#8217;s been working great. Over the weekend, I started getting a bunch of weird text messages from a 6250 number with a message of VZWNM:1;1. After a day of getting them all day long, I did some searching on the internet. The only useful thing I found was a thread in an <a href=\"http:\/\/androidforums.com\/htc-droid-incredible-2\/327744-text-message-notifcation-new-email.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">android forum<\/a>. Apparently, it is Verizon sending these messages every time your default email account receives a message. My phone came with a default email app, but I also installed K-9 mail. I have 3 email accounts added to both apps. My gmail account was set as the default account in the default app. K-9 is the app I mainly use for email though. I deleted my gmail account from the default app and the VZWNM messages stopped. <br \/>\nA couple of alternatives: I can re-add the gmail account to the default app, only use the other option rather than the add gmail account option.<br \/>\nThere is a text messaging app called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.handcent.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Handcent<\/a>. It has a setting where you can block the 6250 number. That seemed to be a popular choice in the android forum. <br \/>\nAccording to the thread, calling Verizon is useless. They have no clue.<br \/>\nNo one knows why the messages start either. It just suddenly starts happening. Some speculated the installation of an app may have triggered it. I did install Amazon&#8217;s MP3 app the day before. I don&#8217;t know if that triggered something, but it would be really strange if it did, since it has nothing to do with Verizon or text messages.<br \/>\nIt is good to know there is a solution to making the 6250 VZWNM text messages stop though.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/cell-phones-service-plans-accessories\/b\/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;node=2335752011&amp;tag=extcas-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;qid=1330009801&amp;camp=1789&amp;sr=8-2-tc&amp;creative=390957\" rel=\"noopener\">More Android Phones<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=extcas-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=extcas-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as4&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;ref=ss_til&#038;asins=B005VIOB88\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=extcas-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as4&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;ref=ss_til&#038;asins=B005SLHL1W\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=extcas-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as4&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;ref=ss_til&#038;asins=B005XRISXG\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of November I bought my Samsung Stratosphere Android phone.
