Unsolicited text messages can be very annoying. You don’t want them yet they keep popping up on you iPhone screen. The unsolicited text messages are there to make money out of you.

Have you experienced the same? For every unsolicited text message you receive is the corresponding bill of $0.20. This can be very frustrating especially to individuals who do not even add a text message plan on their phones.

If you are smart enough, there are ways to block these unwanted text messages.

Here are some of the ways to block text messages and even calls:

1. Call your service provider and have these incoming text messages blocked on your phone;

2. If your service provider is of no help to you, try breaking your phone by installing an app called iBlacklist. iBlacklist is a call blocker and sms selector only available for the iPhone. With the service, you will be able to select from who you want to receive calls and hide messages. iBlacklist has a free version but if you want to get the full version be willing to pay $12.00 via paypal.

3. If you want something free then try Spirit, an untethered jailbreak for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. It is not a carrier unlock. Be sure to read the instructions provide before doing anything on your phone.
