Is it possible to block sms on a XDA Stella?
I am getting a lot of unwanted text from one particular number.

Sure is, use call firewall, it has a sms blacklist and does a good job of stopping them going to your sms inbox. instead they are held within the call firewall program.

Many of you know about programs like SmartFilter or Caller Firewall that block calls from particular callers. Is there any program that does the same thing with SMS messages?
Please advise!
Thanks so much!
I get alot of text messages from some people and my partner would like to be able to intercept those messages so he can have a copy of them on his Wizard. How would he go about doing that?
You want all you SMS messages forwarded to another phone?
think he want to set rules for which ones are forwarded
Your "partner" can't intercept them.. But you can do one of two things..
Either create a program intercepting all incoming SMS'es, always forwarding them to him. You could append the sender phonenumber in the body of the sms or something so he'll know who it is from..
The other thing you could do .. is write a client/server app, so when you get an sms, it's intercepted and posted to a homepage/server you have.. Your partner could have a clientversion which regurarly synchronizes the data from the server and adds them to the cemail.vol file.. making it seem that he ha got the sms aswell..
Another thing again .. you could just make another app which sends the incoming sms as an email to your partner.. Many ways to do this.. but he can not intercept them.. you have to forward them either as an SMS, Email or pure data via a server solution you code/develop...

he can also make a program which only intercept sms's from a list of phone numbers or where surden texts or char's are present
but the program would need to run all the time and periodicly check for new sms's
i would like a program to reject sms messages or mms messages by phone number like i was able to do with my old phone.

I think I'll just go with the first suggestion. Thanks!
MOD EDIT:
this is obviously illegal.
lets move this discussion to the Q&A section

Hey all. Nearly 2 years have gone by since the last post in this thread and I know technology changes over time. I've done some reading about intercepting SMS/text messages but I was wondering if there are now any other ways to do this.
I want to be able to intercept text messages sent and received from one particular CDMA mobile phone number, or to have them forwarded to me without the person's knowledge. I don't have physical access to this person's phone, but if it helps I do have their ESN/MEID for their device.
I'm not so worried about intercepting phone calls or anything. I can get close enough to the user's phone though to be on the same cell tower as them if needed in order to intercept or have the SMS messages forwarded to me.
Are their any options for making this possible without direct access to this particular device? I understand the idea behind copying the identity of the target phone using a SIM card, but again, I don't have physical access to the phone in order to do that. Thanks!

Guys,
Isn't this illegal? You're literally asking to be the NSA or the government, snooping information without the person's information or consent?
Spying on a significant other?
Cheers.
good point. didn't read the last post.
Kind of like the sms filter for windows phones, where certain contacts you can choose to have the text messages filtered to a location outside the normal inbox...? any programs out there like that ?
Extreme call blocker.
does that also filter sms ? or just calls? this other program on my windows mobile sent the selected contacts messages to a program that you had to insert a password to view away in its own inbox. It also sent you a little blue notification that said displayed whatever notification you wanted it to...
is this call blocker offer the same functionality?
just googled...thanks
there a free app like this?
SMS Master Plus including SMS firewall, reading SMS ,SMS transfer and other useful features. SMS firewall can idenfify the rules of domestic spam messages. User can add, modify the corresponding rules(Support for regular expressions),and all kinds of domestic spam messages can block basically. Reading SMS can select which messages to read when receiving the SMS according to the firewall rules. when you read the message inconvenient(eg.driving), you also can get the message timely. SMS transfer can be forwarded to the specified phone by setting the number and type of transfer when the mobile phone is not around you.More exciting features will soon be added, so stay tuned.
If you think the program useful, please give me review on Google Market, thank you!
V1.3.3
+Share this app.
+Transfer SMS must first change the default password (increased security)

nice
Until recently I was using GOsms but it was just a bit too slow and bloated, however I did like the SMS filter they built into the latest version.
I get loads of texts from people offering me loans and asking about claiming for accidents I've never had and the new filter would let you block by number or by the message content, so I could type in common words from the sms and they'd be blocked.
Does anyone know of an sms blocker that does this but is stand alone and preferably free?

Search WhosCall, Mr Number , Call Blocker
I have the same problem when using the GoSMS.
There are many apps that provide a faster way to block the sms and call.
Such as WhosCall, Call Blocker, Mr. Number and so on.
But in my use experience, I found that the some apps would make my dial and sms function slow especially when I install all of them at once.
I usually use WhosCall now, it provide a good experience and high speed of search.
Hope it could help you.
