Register number for messaging preferences?
Since live chat doesn't give me anything to click to get to live chat after choosing a subject I'll have to ask my question here and hope for an answer. I've been registered and used myWireless account for years, is registering your number in order to change messaging preferences an entirely different process?

Unfortunately to my understanding - the "Messaging Preferences" will only block SMS/MMS that are being sent to your phone's e-mail address (i.e. phonenumber@txt.att.net and phonenumber@mms.att.net ). The intent behind it is to provide customers with some spam management tools, and spam tends to be sent to e-mail addresses.
If you want to block all messaging, you would have to contact customer service and have them actually place a messaging block on your account - you can have them do so so that only administrative messages from at&t are received. But you won't be able to use messaging yourself unless you contact customer service and have them switch you back to "pay per use" access.
