Maybe this is not part of this website..hope it is. Could anyone suggest how do I block sms message not from spam but from individuals who are just causing a nuisance? Thank you so much!

New to this site but great it is

Hello,

Tell us more of what you are looking for .... to me SMS means Systems Management Server.

What OS are you using? Is it a windows popup? Are you in a particular chat client, such as Yahoo?

Thanks.

I think he means SMS as in Text-Messaging for cellphones. Who's the provider? You might be able to contact their customer service to have that number blocked.

Hello,

I would call your phone company and talk to them about it. Unless your plan includes text messaging, you could very well be paying for the company to transmit the harassment from another person.

Your phone company would probably not do anything or just tell you to make a complaint to the police.

You could do what I done once!!! I was getting so many txt messages from this girl that I posted her number on a few select forums and guess what I never got a txt from her again :-) not that I would suggest you do a thing like that at all, Oh great now I have done it I'm going to have to put a disclaimer with all of my posts from now on :!:
