There are far too many spam messages being sent as a text message. While carriers have already started to impose various measures to reduce these, Verizon has gone the extra mile by making it easier to block spam texts sent by random email addresses.
If you find yourself getting harassed by several spams from an email address, you can now text “Off” to 4040. This will block these messages from being sent to your number.
Prior to this, Verizon allowed users to turn off email-to-text via their My Verizon account. This new change gives a more convenient way to turn this off directly on their phones.
When you turn off email-to-text, emails to your phone number will no longer be sent. So if you are expecting a legitimate message from email, this may be something that you have to consider carefully. But you can always turn on the option to receive text messages from emails again. You can do this by texting “On” to 4040.
You can also text “Status” to 4040 to check if the feature is off or on on your Verizon device.
