Will spam control block incoming picture texts?

I just got my phone about a week ago, and have already been recieving picture texts from 2 numbers that I do not know. They are averaging about 7-8 texts per day and I DO NOT have unlimited texts. So I guess I'm going to have to pay the per message fees for these. But I did go into my verizon, safegaurds, spam control, and put in these 2 numbers for call and message blocking tonight. My question is will this prevent ALL messages from these, including pics. Because I really don't want to have to keep paying for all of these dumb texts I keep getting. Thanks for any help with this issue. :smileysad:

Call and Message Blocking available on My Verizon from the Verizon Safeguards menu (Spam Controls) does block picture & video (MMS), text (SMS) and voice calls for up to 90 days for up to five numbers that you specify.

 

The option that mentioned above that Customer Care can do for you, which is not available online for customers to add themselves, is called V-Block (Block Text) which will block all messages but not phone calls.

There is no need to call Care to Block messages Tori25, from "2 numbers that I do not know."

 

The advise given to block all messages prevents you from also sending your own messages so I do not believe that was what you were asking for.

 

VZW.COM/SPAMCONTROLS will get you right to the page to block up to 5 numbers for free from sending all picture and text messages.
