Stop using 1112 as the customer survey text sender

T-Mobile customer survey texts are sent from 1112. This is recognized as one of several emergency numbers by Samsung phones (I do not know whether this is also an issue on other handset makers).

 

The result of this is that the phone thinks the user is making an emergency communication and subsequently unblocks all blocked numbers temporarily. 2 hours at a a time. Resetting each time a reply is sent.

I have received T-Mobile surveys before requesting feedback on my experience with an agent, but none of them have ever come from that shortcode.

THAT’S why my blocked calls keep getting unblocked!!  I thought I was losing my marbles by somehow ‘butt dialing’ emergency services yet calls never completed or logged.  THANK YOU!

T-Mobile there are several other numbers I get calls from, can you drop this one from your roster?

 

I also have a Samsung cell phone. I received a T-Mobile survey today from the short code 1112.

As the other posts above indicate, my Samsung phone recognized that short code, 1112, as an emergency / SOS call. Just like the previous posts reported, all of my block phone numbers became unblocked for 2 hours (because my Samsung phone recognized 1112 as an emergency number).

T-Mobile please look into this ASAP. It's outrageous that you have sat on this issue for 6 months and done nothing to resolve it. 

So what is it if I have a T-Mobile Revvl and not Samsung

cShock, 

 

Same thing will happen. To get this to stop you need to call T-Mobile technical support and ask them to send you a customer service satisfaction survey from code 1112. Once you get that survey your internal call blocking will be turned off temporarily then you go in and you replied stop to that text message you got and after that you can re-enable your call blocking if it allows you to and then you will never get up the survey from 1112 anymore so your internal call blocking will not be shut off anymore. 

 

I have done this myself and it works excellent and yes this is a problem on all Androids and all iPhones according to T-Mobile. I just wish they would not make surveys and stuff like that turn off your call blocking the survey is not an important emergency call. 

I hope T-Mobile is watching and reading and will fix this problem permanently for everybody
