If you are running iOS13 then open phone settings and turn on silence
unknown calls. Any calls that come in that are not listed in your contacts
will automatically be sent to voicemail.

I am on AT&T. Is there a charge for Call Protect, Wayne?

Subject: Re: Can you block text messages?
There is a way to filter messages between those from contacts and those
which are spam. I have this turned on, and in theory, it should send those
dreaded spam messages into a separate list. I thought there was a way to
mark a message as spam, and have it then go into that spam messages list,
but I don't recall how to do so. There should also be a spam forwarding
address from your carrier which you can forward those spam messages to. I
get those group spams as well, and the best solution for now is to block the
original sender of the message. If you want to invest a bit more time, you
can get the AT&T Call Protect app and report messages as spam, presuming you
are on AT&T. Other carriers probably have ways you can report spam texts to
them.
Good luck,
Wayne

This process worked for me. I had sighted help and they said this is
the process. Blocking the person should also block the text and
massages. So far no more of those silly things on my phone. At least
from the blocked ones. My friend says they are fishing and looking
for responses and if i am unsure, just repeat he process. These people
are relentless and may try it again with another number just like when
we all were getting those dumb ass IRS calls threatening jail if we
didn't pay. Hoping you have luck. Georgi

Someone on this list I believe sent the steps so I saved the message
and here it is:
Here’s what I did that finally worked. I double-tapped the number or
name at the top of the message from whom the message was sent. Then,
I scrolled to the info button and double-tapped on it. There I got to
a details screen where I once again double-tapped on the name or
number of the person I wanted to block. This opened up a screen in my
contacts list, probably the same one found under recents. I scrolled
down to the bottom of the screen and found the block caller option. I
double-tapped on that and then double-tapped in the appropriate place
to confirm that I wanted to block the caller. I understand we’re
talking about text messages here, but when you get to that screen it says
Block This Caller. Hope this helps!

I have received four texts within the last 24 hours stating that
such and such number with a 919 (same as mine) areas code "have left
the group," whatever group that is, I have no idea in the world what
the sender is talking about and don't want to know. The area code is
588; I checked and found it is in Kansas.
So, my question is can I just block them, so I won't be bothered with
them? Thanks for any help.
