Default How To Block PIN, SMS, MMS Messages

We know how to block incoming calls from annoying 1-800 numbers to Unknows Callers to Private Numbers and maybe a few of our contacts in our phonebook

So another tip, we can block PIN, SMS, and MMS messages from going through by going OPTIONS > SECURITY OPTIONS > FIREWALL ... then check off all or one box.

Sometimes we don't want to be disturbed by our friends and relatives and turning off your data would only stop emails from coming. So use wisely otherwise you would miss your important messages.

Have a question once you block SMS messages is there a way you can retrieve them once you remove the filter?

How do you block incoming calls on the Blackberry 8830? I have a stalker, and it's getting really annoying to receive private number phone calls OVER< AND OVER AND OVER again.

If it's not a business line, I'd change the number ($35). Also, speak with your provider, they can get the Police involved. They can record when the calls are made, and where from etc, etc...
