Message Blocking is a service that allows you to block messages to and from your phone -helping you avoid unwanted messages. Best of all, T-Mobile provides this service to you at no charge! With Message Blocking you can block incoming and outgoing text messages (SMS), picture messages (MMS), Instant Messages (IM), and e-mail.
NOTE: Blocking incoming and outgoing Instant Messages and e-mail applies to phones which use text messaging to send/receive these messages. If you want to be able to send or receive messages, Message Blocking is not the right service for you. Messaging Blocking is intended to block messages in general, not to prevent overage charges. Message Blocking is not currently available for Prepaid accounts.

If you receive text messages from +10476000000 with the body of the message containing one of the following codes, this message is from your personal e-mail notifying you of a new e-mail.
If you used the preloaded E-mail Application with a previous device (i.e. Samsung Blast, Motorola W490, etc.) then changed devices, it can lead to this situation. This message is usually delivered every hour, until the service is stopped.
To stop receiving these messages, put your SIM card back into the device that you used to set up access to your e-mail, and then remove all e-mail addresses from the E-mail Application.
