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.

Didn't work. Not available to Tmobile customers I guess!
Sorry it didn't help. I guess it only works for Sprint customers that were forced to Tmobile because of the merger.
Fix it tmobile there's no solution.

Why was this removed in the settings? I currently have the same issue but cannot seem to find out how to block it and Customer Service is no help.
I receive these all the time. Can we please have a feature to block all text messages from email? This is irritating
Its been a year of this now. Tmobile doesn't care.
They never did.

Yeah t-mobile is utter crap. I rate them at near comcast-levels of garbage. The only thing keeping me here is the military discount.
Apparently Verizon has an option to block emails being sent to sms that can be activated via their customer login page.
As the TMobile is unwilling to take any real action the best option for this becomes installing a 3rd application on the device that blocks emails-to-sms at the device-level rather than the network-level.
KeyMessages on android has this functionality, but it is a premium feature. im sure there are iPhone and other android apps that will do it.
I've recently started getting them, too. So irritating! If some other cell phone service provider offers the same service at the same price that I'm paying for T.M., and they're able to block these stupid spam email texts, I'll be switching for sure. Are you paying attention here, T.M.?
Just one of many that's been reported with no results:

Sadly, I think it is a scope larger than tmobile. I'm not finding anywhere with information on truly stopping it.
Seems even the nerds on reddit are stumped on how to stop it, that surprises me.
But I did read AT&T has disabled the email to sms functionality - But that post was 9 years old o.Obizee wrote:
Hey guys, does this need either press or John Legere attention?
Because either of those outlets is open to me (clubhouse for John since he seems to be in rooms that I mod in on a daily basis) or some security tech writers who are already giving TMobile a roughing up for their repeated security failings.
If I'm understanding, it looks like the setting to disable email to SMS has been completely ineffective for everyone here. I'm not impacted, but people close to me are, hence my interest. But if anyone has further detail, feel free to comment.
I'll also forward to staffers in the Senate commerce committee. Can't guarantee any of these will have traction, but the fact that a common carrier is enabling such gross violations of spam regulations should be a driver for accountability.
Yes, please do and let us know who we can contact about this to let them how we’ve been impacted.
