Text messaging is a convenient way to stay in touch without interrupting the other person's day with a phone call. However, you may receive text messages you don't want. Blocking a text message because it's spam, from an unknown source or because you don't want to get texts from the sender is relatively easy. With Verizon, you block text messages by managing your account online.
