Too many Spam Texts

[tooleey]

[size=150]A while back I learned how to block an entire area code from calling me by using Hi-ya. But I would like to block an entire area code of text messages also. I tried to use the Spam box feature on tracfone but it didn't work for me to block spam text messages. For example, I am always receiving area code 469 spam. I mark it so it blocks the current number but then next time it is a different number also beginning with 469. It keeps going on and on with different numbers always beginning with 469. I always mark them and a different 469 number always shows up next time. These numbers always tell me to download some more info but I never do. IS THERE A WAY TO BLOCK THE ENTIRE AREA CODE? Ii so, how do I do it? and should I enter +1 as all these numbers have? Thank-you very much, Patrick (tooleey)[/size]
