Blocking numbers

So I have someone who is sending annoying immature texts to me; it's not threatening and I know who is it but I'm wondering if there's any way I can block this person's number from being able to contact me

tia :)

I'm not sure if it'll work for SMS and what type of phone you have, but I know for blackberries there are numerous free call blocking apps. Its worth a shot if you have a berry

So far as I know No you can not. There is no way to block incoming text messages. Calls yes.. texts no. It's a shitty part of the phone system. This knowledge is 2 years old so it could be different now however.

Berz out.

I'm on rogers and have the 9700 so would that app work for texts too or just calls do you know !Yaminashi

thanks to you and berz

Options>Security Options>Firewall

Enable the firewall and check the box for "Except messages from" Contacts.

Give that a try?

If you have Call Manager on your plan I believe there is an option to block text messages. If not call in to retention and see if you can add that on for free, otherwise it's $5/mo :)

There's also this (don't know too much about it since I'm not on Rogers)
