How do you block unwanted SMS messages - I'm getting spam text messages from an unknown sender?

You may be able to block the sender from the spam controlers.

 

Log into your online account. There is a Verizon Safeguards and then select Spam Controls.

I see the "Spam Control" under Safeguards but it is unclear how to block a text message with a return address that is a 5-digitnumber.  It only shows how to block a phone number and a domain.  I am getting spam from a number like 89022.

Did you ever figure this out because I'm getting the same thing. Spam text from a 5 digit # and cannot figure out how to block it!  Thank you

those 5 digit #'s are supposed to have a reply to opt out type of option? do they not say anywhere in the message (usually at the end) how to get off their list???

No, it doesn't. And I tried replying "stop" to the message, but that didn't work either!  :smileysad:
