I am trying to block spam text messages. I went to spam control for my phone number and checked both options (block all text from web and email) click the apply button, but nothing seemed to happen. I navigated away from that page and back again to see if it saved my preferences, and it didn't, both boxes are unchecked. I am using firefox so I tried using internet explorer. In internet explorer when I hit apply I get a notification at the bottom of the window saying there was an error. I will wait and see if I get more spam, maybe this is working and just has a terrible way of showing it? I doubt it. I expect more spam within the next few days, please help.
