T-Mobile has added a page to its support documents that detail how to block email messages sent via SMS from reaching your phone. Subscribers can follow some simple steps to block unwanted spam messages, or messages from a single, unwanted number. T-Mobile reminds users, however, that it won't permit all messages to be blocked, as T-Mobile will use text messages to send alerts and information to subscribers regarding voicemails, emergencies, account changes, billing updates and OTA upgrades.

Very misleading. does NOT block text messages. Only email messages.
If joe smith sends you a text message from his verizon phone, it WILL still go through. You cannot block this as of yet. If he send it to the t-mobile sms email address (again, yourphonenumber@tmomail.net. replace yourphonenumber with your actual phone number with area code). It can be stopped. But, who actually uses the email address?
This feature, while useful, isn't what it's being advertised to be. (and i have had mine setup for AGES now. NOT NEW!)
THIS IS NOT ACCURATE!!!
Still good news to post - but just fix it!
