    I have been trying to find a way to stop these text messages i keep getting from alert@mobile.live.com 9048. They are driving me absolutely crazy. I never signed up for these, i recently changed phone numbers and immediately started getting them. Can anyone tell me how to stop them. Thanks.

    I have the answer for you and all the rest out there having the same problem as us.

     

    Go to: http://www.gowindowslive.com/Mobile/Landing/Home/Default.aspx?Locale=en-US

     

    Click: SMS Services

     

    Click: Sign up

     

    Enter your information and wait for the code to show up on your phone.

     

    Enter the code into the box on the registration form

     

    go to "Quite Times"

     

    From the drop down window select everyday

     

    enter a time like 5:00 pm to 4:45pm

     

    make sure that the radio button is clicked that says to delete the notification that are not sent. It should already be clicked.

     

    This worked for me, I tested it all last week and I have not received anymore of those annoying text.

    It was really helpful to find this cuz I'm getting all those texts too but when I go in to enter a time, I won't let me range it that far down.. Message: - We're sorry. The time range specified for quiet hours is too long. Please specify a day and time range that is less than 24 hours for each day of the week.

     

    So I'm still getting all those crazy text and I was wondering if you knew another way to stop them. Thanks, Kimberly

    I have the exact step by step method at home, I will get it back to you later today.

     

    Make sure that there is that 15 min time span between the two hours. You can only go for 23 hours and 45 mins on the time not a full 24.

     

    Also make sure that you click that radio button that discards the messages.

    That worked!  Thank you dj jd.  Just so everyone knows it didn't say "Live Alerts" on the page (probably updated), it's under the tab that says "More", click "Alerts", sign in, and then like he says just click Delete next to your telephone number.

    This is what I was told to do by T Mobile

      when you get the text message  hit reply type the word STOP  then you need to edit who your replying to send the word STOP to 46676

     you will right away receive  a text message back saying---  Microsoft: No further links will be provided unless user initiates from web site (Windows Live)

     This worked for me Please pass this on

    This seemed to work for me and was quicker than going to the windows live website and messing with it.
