How can I block ALL text messages sent from EMAIL ADDRESSES?
I am receiving text messages from email addresses, How can I block them?
Hmmm, there's a few different ways these emails could be coming in, so I think we should try ruling some out. They could be going to [Your Phone Number]@tmomail.net, so let's turn that off. Could you change your Message Blocking settings on My T-Mobile so they Bloqueo de email TMOmail.net? That will help us isolate where they're coming from.

I can confirm that I have the “Block TMOmail.net email” and “Block Instant Message sent via SMS” and “Scam Block” all enabled.
I am on iPhone and can confirm that the message is labeled "text message" coming straight to my phone number (not an email address containing my phone's number), and it is also not labeled as "iMessage". (It is 100% an SMS message, not iMessage.)
I’ve forwarded every single one of these to 7726, and received confirmation.
I have pretty consistently received these messages around every day or every other day since porting in to T-Mobile and never received these messages on Verizon, so the inability to block (or ability to receive) these messages appears to be a T-Mobile issue.
I came across this post idk if it's been referenced but it pretty much sums up the futility of T-Mobiles account settings on this issue and the tech peeps not having a solution despite it being months now.
