Blocking a SPAM Text with nasty language and pictures
I have started receiving a text message from a number that I do not recognize. I have not responded to the number. The text messages have now started containing vulgar language with vulgar pictures. How do I get this stopped?

call you local police department have them call the number. or Change your Number. no way to block text messages. unless you get call limits but i do not believe that will block incoming text messages. talk to AT&T see if they can change your number it cost 36$ but maybe give you a courtsey number change show them the incoming text messages.

Odds are theyre texting you by mistake. you can send them a message and let them know they're texting the wrong person. But only if you're comfortable with it. If not then I agree with the post above me

This sounds like a good idea! I may add that "Spam text messages with a vulgar subject will be submitted to the local police department."

so this doesn't really work, you're merely trying to trick the person doing the harrassing into believing that he's been blocked?
That isn't a solution. Not being able to truly block someone from text messaging your own phone at a day and age like this is
ridiculous.

Depending on what type of phone( higher end smart phones) you have you can actually block numbers from contacting you. You should be able to access the feature through your settings, or by tapping edit when the number is displayed. Other than that, you can always get an app to take care of it.
