    Hello everyone. Quick question. Is there an app. that blocks text messages. I have the call blocker app and love that. Looking for a similar app that blocks messages.

    Thanks.

    From. Everyone?

    The Firewall (Options => Security) can block text messages and has a white list (people to not block).

    You can use the built-in firewall:

    a) Go to Options > Security Options > Firewall.
    b) Set Status to Enabled.
    c) Select SMS under Block Incoming Messages.
    d) Select Contacts under Except messages from.
    e) Press the BlackBerry button and select Save.

    This will block any SMS messages from persons not in your contacts. If you do not want to receive SMS messages at all you can skip d. Beware though that any messages blocked by the firewall can not be restored.

    i'm in the same boat. would like to be able to block text messages from certain numbers, but don't want to block anyone not on my address book (in the event that someone who i dont have in my addy needs to text me, i.e. someone who gets a new cell number)

    Best I found for your needs: BlackBerry App World - BlackBook

    Never used it so don't know if it's good, but it looks promising.

    If you want to block ALL text messages, your carrier can probably accommodate you for free. I had Verizon put a block on all texts because I was getting a lot of spam messages and had to pay for them. Besides, I got my Storm2 for email and BBM.
