How to Block a Specific Number from Texting if you have the Sprint Network

Sprint network cellphone owners may sometimes find themselves bothered with repeated texts from numbers that they don't recognize or don't wish to have contact with. Sprint offers its users a simple text-message based process that allows for the blocking of these phone numbers. Although phone calls will still come through, no further text messages from that number will come through.

Instructions

1. Power on your Sprint phone. Touch the "Text Messaging" icon or navigate to the "Text Messaging" menu option and select that option.

2. Choose "Send Text Message."

3. Type "Block XXX-XXX-XXXX," with the each "X" representing a digit of the phone number you want to block, starting with the area code, into the "Text Message Body" field.

4. Enter "9999" into the "Send To" or "Recipient" field.

5. Touch or press "Send." The number will now be blocked from sending texts to your phone.

Tips & Warnings

• Text the word "List" to 9999 to receive a list of the numbers that you have blocked from your phone.
