    A person has being a nuisance and keeps texting me even when I'm not texting the person back, I'm with Orange UK and would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how I could block the number.
    Thank you

    If it is harrassment, I could contact Orange and tell them you are being harrassed and ask them to block the number.

    You need to block it through your service provider

    Contact your service provider and they will usually block the number.

    Check app world or do a general search in the CB store. I know I have seen a blocking app.

    Your carrier will most likely be able to block the SMS from this specific person. They may not be able to block specific numbers from calling you (the carrier I work for cannot). There is an app called Call Control Blacklist Lite in the app world that allows you to block 5 numbers from calling you for free - with the added benefit of automatically blocking tons of 800 numbers and otherwise.

    Hope that helps!

    Here's a way of doing it as well through your firewall.

    First make sure the person is not in your contacts listing.

    Options –> Security Options –> Firewall –> Check SMS Messages / MMS Messages –> Check Except Messages from Contacts


    Toggle Status to Enabled.

    Okay thanks for the help guys, I've tried the firewall thing, will this only accept SMS messages from people on my contact list?
    Thanks once again

    Yep. Its only for contacts. Anyone not on the list will not get through.

    I wish they had the same thing with the ability to add pins, emails and numbers to exclude.

    I have Smrtguard (the free version) and it now has an option to block and blacklist certain numbers. Might be worth checking out.

    I use BuzzOff, its cheap and works good with a pick up and hang up solution, you don't even know they called or texted.

    I use call blocker and it works great. You have to make sure to grant all permissions. It's cheap as well. Give it a try.

    Call blocker pro works for calls, but not SMS.
