Help me get around the 100 text per hour limit!

[DancinDirk]

Ok, I"m having trouble doing this on my EVO.

Here's what I've done so far:
1. Rooted with UnrEVOked
2. Installed SDK,
3. Added to path,
4. turned on usb debugging
5. connected with usb, drivers did install
6. tested with adb devices, serial showed up
7. adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
8. sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite3: permission denied

[DancinDirk]

Yeah, I use about 22000 texts a month, major part of business. I need to get past this limit, anyone know why I'm getting permission denied?

100 txt per hour?? holy f me man

of course there where girls at my HS that did 15000 texts a month...i've topped 6 or 7k, but 15k ?????


15000/30 = 500 a day

500/24 = around 21 an hour

your doing 100 an hour!?


22000 a month damn...

I think this limit is restricted through Sprint, not your phone. So idk how you would go about that... Call them up and ask?

My guess is that you can't use UnrEVOked to get write access to the file system. If UnrEVOked doesn't give you the access to install a new rom, then changing a core OS file probably would be blocked too.

Unless someone else answers you perhaps you should try the other root method as described here:

Have you considered perhaps using an SMS service, google voice perhaps, as an alternative to send those SMS? Assuming you are using mass SMS like spam mailings..

I recommend this also. You can set it up to make it look like it's coming from your phone #. No one would know the difference.

Sounds like a major part of your "Business" is there is a reason why they have a limit. I would not help even if I could.

I had the same thing going through my head and I agree. Plus I actually hate texting, so this is a way to slow down the woman from trying to text me all day long.

I believe communication should still be personal. If you need to tell someone something, do it in this order:

Face to Face
(if you can't, then)
Call them
(if you can't, then)
Email them
(if it's urgent, then go back to the top because your priorities and definitions are messed up in life)
