Bonnie Ann -
Blocks are available at no charge and are located at My Verizon > My Plan > Add/Remove Features.
Premium Messaging Block
Prohibits new subscriptions to or continued use of premium fee based SMS and MMS (Picture) messaging programs to the selected mobile number. (i.e., ringtones downloads, chat) while allowing all other messaging services to work as usual.
PSMS Blocking will terminate all current Premium SMS programs at the time the blocking feature is activated and MMS programs at the next subscription payment date and thereafter. No credits or pro-rating will be applied to the Premium SMS fees already incurred.
All non-premium messaging services will continue to be billed per your Calling Plan and Messaging Bundle or at the standard messaging rate as applicable.
In addition, here is a summary of all the types of blocks you can add to your account.
