How to block all texting to my phone

Hello, I am wondering how to block all text messaging to my phone, I find it very distracting and I would love to be able to remove this. I don't see messaging as an option in the blocked content under the screen time section. I am hoping to block ALL texts, not just specific numbers. I have been searching online for several hours trying to find an answer.


Any help would be much appreciated!

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Contact your carrier and ask them to deprovision SMS. then log out of iMessage in Settings/Messages.
