- Number block - Blocks specific numbers and short codes though a personalized block list.
- Filters - Filters the messages you send and receive by using the following filters:
- Premium messages

In the unlikely event that a spam message gets through, simply forward the message to short code SPAM (7726) and Bell will credit your account based on your rate plan.
Note: If you've subscribed to premium text alerts through a short code, you can stop the service at any time by replying STOP to any of the text alerts.
