How to block SMS on Android
With a simplicity similar to call blocking, you need to go to Settings / Spam Manager / Spam Settings and add the contact you want to block, or a number. The system even allows you to determine specific words that you do not want to receive by SMS.
Also, Android offers the option of temporarily blocking notifications from a contact, without resorting to the permanent lockout detailed above. This option is Do Not Disturb Mode, and for Android Lollipop, allows you to manually set how long you want to stop receiving call and SMS notifications.
Block calls on iOS
In the case of iPhone, you only have to add them to the blocked Contacts list as follows: go to Settings / Phone / Locked Contacts / Add new and here to enter the phone number to be blocked.
Block SMS on iOS
You can stop receiving SMS from an unknown number or a scheduled contact you need to go to Settings / Messages / Contacts blocked.
Just like on Android, you can turn on Do Not Disturb mode on iPhone. The steps to follow are very similar to Google: go to Settings / Do Not Disturb.
How to block calls and text messages in Windows Phone
The options on Windows Phone are more limited than on Android or iOS, in fact, if they decide to block a phone number, they will reject their calls and text messages at the same time. You will not have the option to choose one of two things.
If you still know this and decide to block a number, to do this, you have to follow these steps: Configuration / System / Call blocker, and at this point, you can choose a contact from the phonebook or enter a number manually.
Block calls and messages using apps
If the native methods of each operating system fail to convince them of the blocking task, an application may be the answer to the problem.
For example, the applications Call Blocker and True Caller are some of the most outstanding in the stores of Android and iOS.
