how do I stop getting messages on mifi

[pamdon]

When there is a message on my mifi, it slows down considerably.  So I want to cancel any messages to that unit.

pamdon, we certainly want you to have full control of your MiFi. Let’s work together to find a solution. What’s the make/model of the MiFi? Has it always been like this when you receive a message on the MiFi?

It's a Verizon Jetpack® 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MHS291L,  It's always been like this.  I think I found out how to stop getting Verizon alerts but since our data plan just started over, I'll have to wait 2-3 weeks to see if it works.  But if there is a way to get rid of other random text messages that come in, that would be nice.

I understand wanting to make sure that you don't have slow speeds. Does this happen everywhere you go?

This is how we get to the Internet from home since we don't have FIOS or DSL or cable choices.  So primarily, this is from home.  i don't remember if a message has come in when we are traveling.

pamdon, thanks for those details. Here's a 2nd pair of eyes to look into this text messaging matter. Are you referring to the usage alert messages? You can have alerts sent to your device regarding the current usage for that line. To create or change a My Verizon alert, you will need access your account online at My Verizon to edit the alerts and notifications.

I just started to get text messages on my jetpack recently! In the years I have had it I have never gotten any. these are not from verizon but from random strangers at gmail usually. It is a Verizon MiFi7730L-F5B0. It is really getting irritating!

I can completely understand your being annoyed by receiving the text messages on your MiFi device. I would become annoyed as well. I'm glad that you wrote us. We can place a Text Messaging Block on the MiFi line. We would just need to access the account to complete this process.
