Telefonica O2 Ireland offers Block It service

This sounds useful. Users can block bullying messages with the O2 Ireland's new Block It service. 160caracters.org reports.

The free service allows O2 customers to block unwanted SMS and MMS messages from other mobile phone numbers from any Irish mobile network.

The Block It Service can restrict text messages that are sent from standard mobile and landline numbers and up to a maximum of 100 specific numbers can be blocked at any one time.

The service however does NOT restrict the receipt of marketing and PSMS from five digit short code numbers and O2 advises users to use the STOP command to stop those. Voice calls cannot be blocked with the service.
