Block text messages on an IPhone

[ldelacruz]

How do you block text messages from a certain number on an IPhone? I made the mistake of texting my wife from a phone at the AT&T store and now she gets texts every once in a while from punk kids who are at the store.

if you want your text messages to get block when it reaches your monthly cap at&t charges $4 .

Try call at&t maybe they can do that but with charges :(

Everything I have read says you can't block from certain numbers. i may have to drive down to AT&T and delete the text messaging history of that phone.

Wow that sucks.
Yeah, I don't know how to block texts. It's like, you can't even have the option to receive texts. You just get charged for it. Maybe att can help? Or, go back to the store, and delete the text/call history on that phone.

I am glad I am not the only one. I will go over there tomorrow and delete it. I know they block them on the Jim Rome show but not sure how they do it?

What does jail breaking do?

apple controls on your software, thus giving them more money because software will be limited to them. Theres alot of software that they dont allow just like the iblacklist and there are tons of application for free.

If you install "Parental Controls" on a phone, you can block up to 15 phone numbers from calling or texting.. Its like $5 a month. I had to do it to block a certain psychopathic ex-girlfriend of my son's.

Thanks for all your help and ideas! I went to the AT&T store and deleted her number just to be safe.
