How to not receive text messages?

I currently have AT and T and have a FLIP PHONE. Not those iphone or blackberry or smartphones you guys have. Well the thing is I have a limit on my text messages per month. The thing is one person keeps on sending me so many text messages that this person isn't stopping. My question is if i take off my phone… Its a flip phone… I can easily take out the battery etc and the phone won't work.

Would this mean I would not receive any text message or phone calls even when i later put the battery back and power my phone on? If not… Is there a way to prevent text messages?

You would still be billed for the incoming texts. It does not matter if your phone receives them or not, because you are billed for every text your service provider receives for you.

Also, text messages are saved for up to 48 hours in the network in case your phone is turned off or you are not available for any other reason.

You would continue getting the messages and calls unless your service has been discontinued. Your best option is to call the AT&T customer care and have this person who is bothering you barred.

  • Why don't I receive alerts or a notification when I receive a text and I already checked my settings? I adjusted my setting and even put the ringer and notifications on and put the volume and ringer on and I receive no alert, no pop up, alert or notification when someone texts me. Why? This is the iPhone X! I went to the cell phone/ carrier store and they didn't help me. They said to go to the apple store or check the settings. I already adjusted the settings. So what do I do now?
  • Why do I not receive text messages? I have switched phones from having an iPhone and my inactive iPhone still receives messages from other iPhones as iMessage texts. I turned off my Imessage in the settings on my iPhone but I still do not get texts on my new phone from iPhones…
  • Why can't she receive my text messages? So this girl I know told me to text her… We both have iPhones I'm guessing because she asked me of I had one. Mine is go phoned from AT&T and hers is from Verizon. When I text her she never reviews my messages and when she texts me I never receive hers. But I can text anyone but her. Anyone have an idea of what's wrong?
  • Why can't I receive long text messages anymore? My girlfriend and I have never had this problem before. I have an IPhone 3GS and she has a Droid Razr. Whenever she sent a long text message to me, it would just break it up into several texts. Then, for some reason, now when she sends me a long text message, I don't receive it at all. She still receives my long text messages perfectly fine and she can send other people long text messages but why can't I receive them?
