Wrong! The CallerID information can be faked. You can be presented new fake CallerID information with each call. There are billions of telephone and name combinations. A computer can program a new fake CallerID number and/or name with each junk call or junk text. Blocking each number is like “Wack a Mole”. You will never win that game.
I don’t know if the iPhone feature “Silence Unknown Callers” can stop the junk texts. Try “Settings”, “Phone”, turn on “Silence Unknown Callers”. If that doesn’t work, post your results.
If that method to filter out junk texts doesn’t work, hopefully, Apple could add that as a new feature. No one wants to receive junk texts. That feature does work to stop junk telephone calls.
