What goes into cloud storage? And what doesn't??

 

[Changing4Best]

So, if cloud storage says I am out of storage space and I didn't put stuff in it, it must be some kind of advertising?

@Changing4Best - you're probably putting stuff in your cloud account without realizing it.

The thing is, other stuff that comes to this unit that looks like this are ads. So I just am not sure. I guess I will have to call the person who set this thing up for me and ask how the cloud was set up. Thanks

Does anyone know how to setup forwarding for text messages like unconditional call forwarding for phone numbers? My cell phone won't charge and so I had to buy a prepaid cell until I can buy another phone. I have my calls being fowarded but cannot seem to figure out how to forward my text messages and I am afraid I won't be able to get a new phone for a while due to Covid and need to be able to get my text messages! Help! Google is no help here. It just tells you how to forward a text like fowarding an email but that's not what I was to do!

Assuming you mean Android - activate sms divert to the new number?

Yeah, Android. And yeah, I do want it to divert sms to another number but I cannot find that option anywhere on either phone. I even made Facebook messenger as the default messaging app (not usually set that way) on both phones thinking it would go to both but nope. I can get text from my Facebook friends texted to my cell # (the broken phone) as my step mom said she sent a text and it went to Facebook messenger on the temp prepaid phone. That said, she uses messenger as her default texting app too. But those that aren't Facebook friends, their texts don't forward or divert. The normal Android texting plateform doesn't have any option with fowarding or diverting or even the word activate isnt within settings and neither does Facebook messenger.

Google, other forums, etc also don't seem to know how to do it either.

Is it possible and if so how do I do it?

I'm seeing the only simple way of doing it is to call your carrier? If your SMS application doesn't support doing it automatically?

We don't have any classes there. There is a guy who comes in now and then to fix my boss's computer though. I could ask her how to get in touch with him I guess. I used to have some neighbors who did computer stuff for me, but they moved last Thanksgiving or so. They are the ones who taught me the F12 thingie. Otherwise I would either be at the library or on another computer writing this! Really. They rescued me from a nasty virus. They had to take everything out of my computer and reload all the original software into it in order to get it back up and running after that thing hit it.

Libraries often offer basic computer classes. They may be setting up to offer online classes now. Call and check....also, the department of recreation may have offerings online.

I have an IPHONE 8. How do I set up voicemail? It doesn't seem friendly like everything else.

I don't have an iPhone but usually if you call your own phone number (on any cell or home phone) it will dial into your voicemail. Also, most phones have an app for visual voicemail if you have that option on your phone. If its an option on the phone it would be stock meaning already downloaded.

Maybe someone with an iPhone can help better?

If you dial 121 on your iPhone, it'll dial in to your voicemail and you'll then be able to set up your personal greetings and adjust your voicemail settings etc.
