Is there a certain someone who you just wish would stop texting you? Annoying ex? Mother-in-law who wants to know when you are going to have a baby? Husband? Daughter wanting money?
The list could go on, but possibly, just maybe with this little reply you are can get that someone to stop texting you for good. Well, at least until they confront you in person..
Here is what you do.
How to Get Someone to Stop Texting You
Copy this text down and use often.
SERVICE ERROR 305: MESSAGE FAILED. FURTHER MESSAGES WILL BE CHARGED TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
Hopefully it will work 🙂 And if it doesn’t work – just send a fake invoice over to whoever is texting you with a nice fat charge for each text sent.
Okay.. so maybe that someone had seen the meme before, blah and the annoying texts continue. Here are some a few other ways you can avoid unwanted texts from those people who just don’t get the message.
How to Block Annoying Texts
If you are wanting to block annoying texts, try these suggestions:
Cell Phone Company
Contact your cell phone company to see if they can filter out the SMS message.
Short Message Service (SMS) is a text messaging service component of phone, web, or mobile communication systems, using standardized communications protocols that allow the exchange of short text messages between fixed line or mobile phone devices.

My old mobile phone has a feature of blocking/blacklisting. With my smartphone, I have not tried downloading any apps yet that will help me block numbers.
