Blocking

[Keencharlie1976]

On my phone if i block someone i can still read blocked messages. Is there a way 02 can completely put a stop to the messages even reaching my phone.  Police are involved in a situation with said person and said sure 02 can help with this. I cant change my number due to work reasons etc and people say well dont look at blocked messages but ovs your going to,any advice

@Keencharlie1976 If you block a number it should prevent calls or messages reaching your phone. See this:

If there's no option in spam message settings to auto delete, you will need an app off Play store.

There used to be a great app called Extreme Call Blocker that would do what you want but I couldn't find it after a quick search. I'm sure there is something that would work for you though if you have a browse and read the reviews.
