Blocking Smartphone # s for Android?

Hi there,

I have an Android smartphone (Alcatel One Touch Idol 3). I gave my number to someone by accident and now they are spamming me with text messages (not abusive or anything like that).

I was wondering if there s any way to block them. I have checked all the settings and I can t find anything even close to this feature.

What should I do?

Thank you so much for your help!

    One of the reasons I dumped my Samsung S3 for a Lumia 640 XL.

    On android there is NO WAY to ban phone numbers (however some 3rd party apps claim they can, I had 0 success with them). On Windows, you long-press the offending number and tap "Block number". Easy.
