Q: If I report a text to junk, does it automatically block the number from texting me again?
I am receiving text messages 2 to 3 times a day from phone numbers with a country code of +86. I believe that is China. There is no option to reply "STOP" to end these texts. Even if there was, I would be charged international texting fees. My only options are to report the text to junk or block the phone number/message. The issue is that every time I receive a text from +86, it's a different number every time. I have clicked on "Report Junk", but it then deletes the text and I can't block the number without manually adding the phone number into my contacts list. I don't want to add the number in my contacts list just to then block it. I have also clicked the "i" button and scrolled down to "block this caller". However, I believe if I choose to "block this caller", the option to report to junk goes away.
So, I want to know if I choose "Report Junk" (instead of blocking the number), is the number automatically blocked? It really doesn't matter either way since every text is a new number anyways, but I thought I'd ask.
