Is there a way to block the many messages announcing winning contest prizes or receiving fake orders from Amazon, for example that require clicking on a link in order to receive these orders or prizes? I feel very afraid of these messages because of the wording and design of these messages in a malicious and diabolical way that pushes the reader to click on these links unintentionally and the unfortunate consequences may happen.
Very useful information..
Is there a way to block SMS messages from four-digit numbers?
Like ads, etc.??

Thank you.
The best feature is that if Jack calls, he gives you the name of the country he calls you from, and so you can reply to the name of the country you are in!
What if there is another caller from outside the country, in this way all calls will be blocked, whether they are annoying or unobtrusive... I do not recommend this method except for a limited period that does not exceed a few days..
Thanks for the useful article
