Abstract:
A system, method, and computer readable media are provided for allowing a user to block messages by sending a text message containing the source address that is to be blocked to a provisioning component that updates a block list. Messages addressed to the requesting user that originate from the source address are then dropped by the network before they are communicated to the requesting user. Source addresses may also be removed from the block list by sending a second text message to the provisioning component with the source address.
