I keep receiving spam text message from email addresses. I have been in all the settings. Block will not let you block the messages, because there is no number to block. There is no spam option when they are received as well. As expensive as these phones are, I know there has to be a way to stop this. Each model of Galaxy S, seems to be cheaper and cheaper but cost more and more!

you can't block with no number
just delete them, don't reply or they will know if it's an active number.

Hi, can you create a contact with the message then block the contact message?

There has to be a spam feature added for this. It's infuriating to get sexts from random emails all day. I can't believe I have this expensive phone and have to put up with this. My carrier is unable to help. They are telling me to enable the "spam" feature in the Messages app. There isn't one.

That would require you to create a contact for every one of these messages you receive.

Yes I know it works for me, after a while they'll give up bothering you.
Worked for me.

I tried but there's no option to block the contact once it's created, presumably because there's no phone number.

Thanks, maybe I'll use that instead. ... Oh, just looked at reviews and ppl are having issues. Maybe not. Thanks anyway!

I'm getting gmail addresses texting me... including one asking specifically if they can call me! It's ridiculous that random people should be able to have access to me in this way! Samsung needs to fix this before something terrible happens to someone.
