Stopping unwanted text messages on Fido prepaid

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to stop unwanted text messages on a Fido prepaid account?  I called the customer service and they couldn't help.  They said the only thing they could do is block all my text messaging or none!  I don't really want to change my phone number either.

 

Thanks,

Pearl

Hey, I'd like to do the same. I just want to block some numbers, not all.

This question is all dependent on your cell phone.  Fido itself can either block all or none, but a lot of phones will have some form of "blacklist" feature.  Usually it's found in your recent callers list, by viewing the options.  If you're unsure, a quick Google search with your phone's model number, brand, and the word "block" will usually get you the information you're seeking.

 

Likewise, most smartphones have apps available that can block specific numbers and even unknown callers.

If it's a commercial/automatic outlet texting you, you can text STOP and they will stop texting.
