block sprint picture mail spam

I'm getting spam picture mails to my phone.

i use magicall to block/ignore sms and phone calls, but somehow he still gets his picturemail sent thru it! And, since installing "xsprint arcsoft mms 5.0.82.79" (thinking it would help with blocking somehow but it didn't), picturemail now gives me these lovely notifications when he sends his picture spam. I can verify that his normal phone calls and sms texts are being blocked/ignored by magicall so how in the world is he getting thru with his picturemail?

(As a side note: magicall still connects you to the blocked caller when you have him on pick/drop and you're on the phone with someone else. It's very awkward and irritating and it's happened to me with this spammer.)

I figure my only real option is to disable/uninstall picturemail all together, but I don't want to lose that functionality unless it's my last option. Is it even possible to disable picturemail but keep sms?

Please help! I need a solution. I just don't want to know at all that he's calling or spamming me.

I've searched for a solution but I've only searched after I received his spam and was upset about it so maybe I overlooked the answer. So, sorry if this has already been addressed. (And, yes, I did just get another picturemail spam.)

Who would 'he' be, and you can blacklist 'him' from sprint.com as well.

Re: block sprint picture mail spam

i dont know who he is. at first, he would text me with some other girls' name and i ignored it but one day he called, i didn't pick up, he got my name from my voicemail greeting, left me an explicit vmail using my name, and has been spamming me ever since. So, when i found magicall's "pick and drop" option along with the sms blocking, i thought the problem was solved but somehow, even tho he texts the pic to my phone number like sms, it doesn't get ignored and i get notified of a new picmail.

how do i blacklist him?
