block texting

[wetbar]

Hey is there a way to block a text from a number or numbers at the push of a button. The problem I am having is everyone want to use my phone, and I am scared a private text will come in while they have the phone. Even if they are on the net the text pops up at the top of the screen.

Thanks fot the help.

if you dont have the phone, then you cant push the button...

if you get notified of the message to dismiss it, havent you already recieved it? lol

but actually answer you though, different calling blocking apps probably have sms blocking as well.. but itd be an app youd have to start(and already have your block list set up)..

so as effectively as your asking for?? no, not really

If you dont want people seeing the txt you are recieving have you tried Handcent SMS? i know you can add a number to block and it wont show up in the thread as the sms but the txt is there once you unblock it.

the only fallback is that it will go to the orig sms txt app on the phone. i guess you could turn off the notifications to it.

how to add people to unblacklist:
1. check the option ("settings"->"security & privacy"->"show black list" , handcent will ask for password if you set password before)
2. return to handcent main window,you will find the blacklisted thread (people) shown and has grey background
3. long press the thread that you want to unblacklist ,choose "unblacklist" at the context menu

I've tried several call and text blockers and the top two for me are, (#1) Advanced call or sms and (#2) CallFilter, both are found on the Market. The reason i rank advanced call or sms #1 is because once a number or group of numbers are set to be blocked, you have to enter a passcode to view the log of which number has been blocked and its content (sms).

I use afirewalls they have a lot of ways to block your calls and sms. This is a very good program. and has a very good security program so no one can use it
