I guess I am the latest in this terrible vzwnmn:1 texting that does not stop. I too have spent several hours on the phone with verizon customer service. They have been very pleasant but are also stumped. This is now August 2012, I read some complaints from January 2012 thus no solution. I tried to follow the steps suggested about logining in to my verizon, going to “account” but that word does not show up anywhere on the screen. I found “change features” in another area but I COULD NOT find the words “Contact Management” to which I am supposed to click “remove” Thus it is not helpful. Perhaps if someone could take a snap shot of the screen and show where one is supposed to click. I also asked the VZW attendant to see if she could find these words on her screen to no avail.

This has just begun happening on my Droid 4 with the latest OS update. Never happened before, VZ must have just turned on the option. Calling *611 now that I know what it is!

U need to do what I did. I too hv the razor and followed the above instructions. Except after u go into the ‘change features ‘ u will need to scroll down to ‘cloud storage-sync email’ and click remove. Don’t forget to scroll down more and click on ‘next’ then ok the review page . Otherwise u will not be saving the change and still cont to get those annoying texts … It worked for me

This issue started for me on my RAZR when Verizon did their system wide voice mail upgrade.

Thanks soooooo much for that instruction. Its a lil bit diff for the Razr, I had to remove the Cloud Storage- sync email. Through the My Verizon online.I sent myself a few emails and Voila! No more Vzwnmn texts.

I need my email synced to my Droid 4 and its sad that this problem still is not solved. Why should we have to get text message spammed for using an amazing feature?

Really hope a fix comes soon!

Seems related to “Backup Assistant Plus”. Went through http://www.verizonwireless.com to remove feature. Stopped text messages. Google backs up contacts. Google+ backs up photos. And ur sync’d email accounts have their own individual backups. There are backup apps for text messages through the store. get those and remove backup assistant plus. no need.

I have talked to tier 2 tech support they cant seem to find the option to turn it off, of course texting STOP did not work, so now I tryed to get rid of every acct in the universal in box so they would stop, I will let ya know if it helps.

Something you should try in order to enable your Mother to call you, even if you’re in Silent Mode, is a free Android application that I’ve relied on for at least a year, called ‘Selective Silence’. It allows you to select Contacts you would like to be able to get through and ring your phone as normal, even if you’re in Silent Mode. It really works! And before I go on, please know that I am not a developer, just an average Android user. This app has really been of tremendous use to me (it’s NEVER failed me, on my DROID X or now my DROID RAZR). It allows me to casually enable Silent Mode and allow my Priority contacts to still call me and RING my phone, as if I were not in Silent Mode! I can understand having reluctance in your situation. To test it, just download and install the application, then within the app, enable a telephone number you could call your mobile from, set your mobile on silent mode, then call your mobile from the other telephone. When you’re confident in the app, just enable your Mother’s telephone numbers – every number she would call you from, and you shouldn’t have to worry. Of course, if there’s the possibility that your Mother could need to call you from an unpredictable number, I’m afraid this won’t be of any use to you. But, I wanted to let you know about it in the event that it could be helpful. I really feel for both of you and wish you all the best possible!
