How can I block area code 469 from texts

I like the filter unknown senders. I just wish that there was an option in notifications to not notify me of messages that are from unknown senders.

I have Nomorobo and it doesn’t stop new texts from a new number

It comes in as a text not an iMessage. Please help us out! This is annoying

Someone mentioned that when switching from Android is when the issue started

Sadly, I haven't found a great solution to block the nonsense on those platforms.

Neither have any of the 3 to 6 billion users worldwide who face the same deluge of junk.

This is helpful but I’ve sent probably 50 forwards of spam to AT&T from this same 469 area code and no slowing down.

I also am receiving spam texts from 469 area code. Please make them stop!

This isnt a solution to the problem posted above

Its probably apple themselves behind all of this lol

calm down. I agree with you. But apple recommended this person’s response which wasn’t even close to an applicable solution to said problem.

So you never want to receive a call from anyone in the most populous area in Texas?

No..Don't need a-n-y-o-n-e calling me from (469). They can send me an email or call the LandLine.

I would say pretty much everyone on this thread wants no communication from that area code as evidence to the initial inquiry.

Probably. It's beyond ridiculous. Forwarding the texts to AT&T's junk notification text number is pointless and just a waste of time. It wouldn't be SO bad...but, I have to deal with it on my phone, my laptop and my desktop (all Apple). It's infuriating.

There’s not much you can do, and there probably isn’t much point in doing anything, because in a week or two the spammers will switch to a different area code. You can ask AT&T if they will block the entire Dallas overlay code, but they probably won’t be willing to.
