When you get these messages, you should be able to block the sender. While the message is open go into options/settings [not sure on the Note] and there should be a block option.

I use GO SMS Pro and it has an option to "blacklist" any unwanted text messages.

Hi all,

There is a method to block completly unwanted texts in KitKat 4.4
and up...

The App costs $5.99 and is called Extreme Call Blocker and it not only
allows you to block calls so they dont get sent to voicemail also you can block completly unwanted texts from notifying you and then they are erased completly from the device upon arrival..

This app is worth the $5.99 that you spend on it.

Their Texting app built into it is generic basic but if that doesnt bother you then you are good to go to block unwanted phone calls and unwanted text messaages...

Im not talking blacklisting unwanted texts which only hides the unwanted text message in a spam box or vault type space on the device Extreme Call Blocker completly erases the received unwanted text messages from the phone number you add to the app and you dont get any notification by audio or visually that the message even came to your device because you can set in its settings to have the message completly erased once it comes in.

I know google messed up when they made KitKat 4.4 and up act this way towards text blocking but since buying Extreme Call Blocker I
am happy that I can now keep unwanted spam text messages and unwanted people's texts from being stored or even notifying me with audio tone or whatnot from bothering me..

I do hope this information helps you all out that need to block completly calls ot even unwanted spam or unwanted text messages from anyone...
