How do i send a text message with my number blocked

To confirm that text messaging is enabled on your account, go to the Device settings page for your phone and make sure that "Can send/receive text messages" is "Enabled". If there is no edit icon at the top of the Messages section (i.e. you can't update your text messagingsettings) then the number is not active

You can block text messages from a specific number or contact on your Android device with a third-party solution. Just follow these steps.


Blocking Text Messages

Option 1

Note: These steps are for the stock “Messaging” app included with Android 5. Some carriers may include a different app for messaging.

Open “Messaging“.
Press the “Menu” Menu icon icon located at the upper-right corner.
Select “Blacklist“.
Set “Blacklist” to “On“, then select the plus (+) to add a person to block.
Type the number you wsih to block. Check “Block incoming calls” and/or “Block incoming messages” as desired, then select “OK“.
If you wish to remove a number from Blacklist, select the number, then choose “Delete“.
Option 2

If your messaging app does not offer a Blacklist option, use Handcent.

Download and install Handcent SMS for your text messaging needs. It’s available in the Google Play store.
Since you’ll be using Handcent for text messaging, disable the notifications for your current text messaging app. Otherwise, you’ll get double notifications for text messages.
Open Handcent then select the “Menu” Android menu button icon at the upper left corner of the screen, then select the gear in the lower left corner of the screen.
Select “Security & privacy” > “Manage blacklist“.
Tap the plus (+) icon to add the phone number you wish to block. You can choose one from your contacts, call logs, or input the number directly.


Now all of the text messages from that person will be blocked and not visible in the Handcent app. You won’t get notifications you’ve received a message from the person either. If you ever want to unblock the person, return to the “Manage blacklist” screen, tap it, then select “Unblacklist“.

Some users have reported that the app “Private Space” works well for them.

Sending an Automatic Reply

If you want to let a person know they have been blocked, you will need to download and install SwiftReply. SwiftReply will allow you to setup an auto reply for specific Contacts.

Ensure the mobile number you wish to block is listed in your Contacts.
Open “SwiftReply” and tap the plus icon (+) to make a new auto-reply.
Type the name you would like to use for the reply and the text you would like to send to the person.
Scroll down and select “Enable User Filter” > “Contacts“.
Tap “Add” and choose the people in your Contacts list that you would like to receive the reply. Tap “Done” when your list is complete.
Tap “Save“, then tap “Off” to turn the auto-reply on.
The specified people will now receive your message automatically and Handcent will block them from your view.

You can block text messages via Messages app. This works really well for blocking text messages on iPhone, like some unknown spammers, advertising companies and internet marketers bothering you with promotions and offers for products that are not at all related to your interest. These steps will block only those unknown callers that you choose to block.
1. Go to the Messages app.
2. Tap on the target message from the spammer.
3. Choose "Details" on the top right hand corner and tap on it.
4. There will be phone icon and a letter "i" icon across from the number. Tap on the "i" icon.

5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and then tap on "Block Contact".
Note: Once you press on Block Contact, the phone number that you just blocked won't be able to make phone calls, send text messages, or Facetime you.

How to Block Text Messages on iPhone

Some phone companies do not allow messengers to send IMs to phones. I know from experience that you cannot send IMs to Metro phones and I'm sure some other companies don't allow it.

hi,there is no way you can be blocked from texting either a user or the service provider,the only thing that can prevent you from sending an sms to a sprint user is probably you having your message centre number deleted or not correctly typed in.you will have to call your service provider to get the message center number and you will be able to send messages to a sprint user.will also like to know if your mobile phone send to other mobile phones.

take care.

this is not possible....unless you want to block all text messages...then just alter you message centre number..this can be found under message settings

go to message setting, text message, text meassage center, then try changing to another center, ( i've got 3 dif centers to pic from but only the first one lets me send text messages)

good luck

Error 96 means you need to dial in the whole phone number...example 17085551212, not just 5551212 even if you are sending text message to the same area code.

The caller has caller ID block placed on their acct/ this can interfere with sending sms messages to a phone that does not accept sms or voice calls from a line with caller id block/ I had cust resprond to a text with send new to area code plus 10 digit number/ success/ removed caller id block from service and had cust click *star 67 then area code plus 10 digit number/ if you choose to have your contacts entered with *82 area code plus 10 digit cell number you will get error 00107/ can not receive or respont to blocked calls particularly long distance/resolves iss/ I am a technical suport agent for sprint/ Happy Texting

go into call settings then common settings then call reject. I have given my unwanted number a group name and then blocked that group! Hope it works.There is also a service security thing in messaging which lets you set up trusted and untrusted lists. I am trying this also.
