we went over last month. It’s quite frustrating. What’s more bothersome is that with T-Mobile, you can’t even turn text messaging off completely. So if you’re being spammed, you’ll get charged. T-Mobile was actually hit with class action lawsuit earlier this year over texting services. Their answer is to institute a blocking program. Hooray! A system should be in place, either now or in the near future, to block text messages altogether. This will still allow system texts, voicemail notification, and OTA updates. But spam can be stopped simply by saying no to SMS. Ah, but there’s more. And this is just a rumor. Repeat, just a rumor. But we could be seeing an advanced version of this system, whereby you can block texts and calls from specific numbers. Currently, Alltel is the only major carrier to offer this service. Considering T-Mobile’s spot in the marketplace, it’s a feature they should make sure to have. Anything to get the small advantages over the big companies, right?]]>

NO IT DOESN’T!!
This website is called “Prepaid Reviews,” yet T-mobile specifically states “Message Blocking is not currently available for Prepaid accounts.”
It may be available for contractual accounts, but definitely *NOT* available for prepaid accounts – which should be the main focus of this website.
Tmobile generates more revenue with UNWANTED spam text messages on prepaid accounts. It’s rather shabby that TmobiLe would not offer text blocking options to prepaid users…as THEY ARE CUSTOMERS TOO.
If you are on a t mobile contract they will block text and calls but if you are on prepaid they will not. i would not go with t mobile virgin mobile has text blocking
