    I don't know about your particular service but I know with AT&T all I did was call them and have them block all internet, texting and that way I do not get them nor get billed for them so you might try calling your provider's technical assistance and asking them if they can block all from your phone?
    most phones have a block list now so you can block any number you want from texting you.check under text or security settings
