When we sign up for loyalty programs, register on websites, or apply for bank cards, we often give out our personal details \u2014 and soon our iPhones are flooded with spam texts. Promo offers, sales alerts, discounts, and loan approvals can take over your inbox in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stopping them usually means calling the sender, clicking a link, or filling out a form \u2014 all of which takes time and can be risky. But there\u2019s an easier way. On your iOS device, NumBuster lets you filter SMS by phone number or keyword \u2014 so spam never even reaches you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blocking SMS by phone number<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To block spam texts from a specific phone number, open the NumBuster app on your iOS device and go to the \u201cSMS Blocking\u201d section in the bottom menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\""SMS<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tap \u201cStop-Numbers\u201d and then \u201cAdd.\u201d Enter the phone number you want to block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adding<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a good option for blocking specific senders \u2014 but many companies use number ranges or display names instead of real phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blocking SMS by keyword<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can also block texts by keyword. For example, if you’re tired of credit offers, just add \u201ccredit\u201d to your blocked list, and any message that includes it will be filtered out. To do this, go to the \u201cSMS Blocking\u201d section in the bottom menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\""SMS<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tap \u201cStop-Words\u201d and then \u201cAdd.\u201d Enter the word you want to block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adding<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To remove a phone number or keyword later, just swipe it left. You\u2019re in full control \u2014 add or remove filters anytime you like. That way, only the messages you want make it through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
