Text spam from multiple email addresses

Me and 19 other people are receiving spam with links to **** sites several times a day, everyday, from multiple email addresses. I block each email address, I’ve asked them to stop, nothing seems to work. I could lose my teaching job if these are sent to me over my district’s network. Is there any way that I could block just messages from email addresses?

Who is your cellular carrier.


I have AT&T and started getting bombarded with this garbage about a year ago.

Finally found a solution.


Your carrier can block ALL SMS and MMS messages originating from email rather than from an actual phone number.

If you have AT&T, call customer service. Tell the person who answers to look up "Article 446389" in their system.

This explains exactly what they have to do to block text messages that originate from email. It has to be blocked at the gateway by the carrier. There is nothing that you can do to stop them.


Most carriers should be able to do the same thing.


Good luck.
