iPhone owners can block certain people or allow people to contact them. There is even a way to block all users from contacting you. If there is someone you are trying to avoid then keep reading.
Have you ever asked yourself how do I block text messages from certain people on my iPhone? Stop wondering, because today we’ll discuss how you can block certain people from texting you, or just block everyone altogether (if that’s more convenient). We will give you a step-by-step guide as to how you can do this using a method that isn’t highly publicized.
Many iPhone users have chosen to not have text messages as part of their phone plan. However, there are times when incoming messages can cause iPhone users to incur text messaging charges. This is one reason that people may want to avoid incoming text messages.
Another reason is for privacy; both reasons are quite understandable and easy to accommodate. After all, you shouldn’t have to be texted by people you don’t want to have anything to do with, especially if it’s going to cost you money. Keep in mind that people who have your iPhone number can figure out your iPhone email address and can send you email that will present itself as a text message on your iPhone. How do you avoid all this?
A great way to foil spammers is to create a different alias address that you can send to people you know. It’s listed on the same page mentioned in steps 3 and 4.
An Easier Route
Blocking text messages from certain users is a great way to avoid people like spammers. If you have a serious problem with unwanted text messages and want to take an easier route and just block everyone from texting you, simply call AT&T and request that they remove text messaging capabilities from your phone altogether. This is usually easier than having to go through the above steps.
