Ask your carrier if they can block calls from a given area code. Apple would not be involved in this at all.

Block all text messages from area code prefix Why hasn’t Apple implemented a way to block all spam text messages from any specific area code prefix? The incoming spam texts is utter BS and for a company that brags intensively about privacy and security, there’s still no way nor app to block incoming TEXT MESSAGES from certain prefixes, only spam phone calls. Why? Please spare me any useless “report to carrier” because they’re the same too. I use Verizon.

Stopping Unknown Texts esp. Political Ads/Texts I have all the settings set up properly to block unknown texts yet I am still getting ~10 texts today from people not in my Address Book which is getting very annoying. Most of these are political ads/text not even in my area code which is a huge waste of time. Tp be clear, I have done the following: Messages>Filter Unknown Senders and turned on Notifications>Customized Notifications>Message>Unknown Senders and turned on Blocked individual numbers when the text comes but they constantly change their phone numbers so this seems to be a waste On Phone>Silence Unknown Caller and turned On Even though I have all these setting like this for 2 months I am still getting unwanted texts. What else should I try?
