I Want to Block Incoming Texts

My "free" text message allotment to my T-Mobile pay as you go number have been used up by unwanted incoming spam messages.  I want to turn off text messages on my iPhone so I do not incur additional fees.  My iPhone is connected to an iCloud account, that also has another number on a different account - so I can't tell which messages are being sent to my T-Mobile number vs. the other number.  This guide is about blocking messages, not avoiding overage fees.  How can I turn off incoming texts and avoid overage fees that are being caused by unwanted spam? Maxim Time Clock

-Mobile may have specific procedures or tools to help block spam messages or manage your account settings to prevent overage charges.
Consider using third-party apps from the App Store that specialize in blocking spam messages.
If your iCloud account is causing confusion between numbers, you may need to adjust your iCloud settings or iCloud-linked devices to ensure messages are correctly identified.
