Combating Text Bomb

[Gareee]

There is one for specific numbers (look for call filter in market) You can choose to block text or voice calls from specific numbers.

Since we don't have the texting plan, we hate texters. Now we are giving texters our google voice numbers instead of our regular cell numbers, so they come in via data, and do not cost us anything.

Just be aware that app-level blocking of text messages does not prevent you from being billed for the blocked messages. The app can't block the message until your device receives it. By that point, the messages have already counted against you. If billing or preserving your texting package are concerns then an app isn't a suitable solution.

Advanced Call Blocker
Although what takeshi said is true in any case. This is why you don't have the option of "answering" the call with a busy signal et cetera.

I'd prefer one that bounced the spam back to the sender. Let him have the text bomb or DDOS.

With that way of thinking, I have a handgun. It's my handgun, I bought it with my own money, and I can shoot as many people as I want with it...

Ppl do it everyday,

And people kill themselves everyday, people do illegal drugs everyday, people rob banks everyday. Just because people "do it", doesnt make it right or legal.

I never said it was illegal. It violates your contract though, and again, can easily bog down the network for other people.
