I only want to receive texts from people in my contacts list. How do I place this restriction?
sadams Thanks to all of the community responding to the question. To answer this question simply: no you can’t block everyone but your contacts with any features from Verizon Wireless. However, you can try looking in the Android Market Place and look for 3rd party that offers those features. I hope this helps. Thanks.
i do it by getting into myverizon account on my home pc. after logged in under "plan" block calls/messages & add numbers to block but i'm not aware of a way to block everyone else who isn't in contacts.
