How To Block SMS, MMS, PIN, and E-mail



If you’re looking for some down time from the office, or need to go distraction free for a little while, there’s a useful feature embedded in your Options menu called Firewall. This feature can block all of your SMS, MMS, PIN messages, or e-mail, and even allows you to add exceptions. Or, if you just want to filter annoying spam SMS, you can set your phone to only accept messages from contacts.

To access this feature, head to Options and select Security Options
