A while ago I gave someone my mobile phone number over aim and now they can send text messages directly to my phone just because they have my phone number. Is there any way I can get it so my phone cant receive messages like that anymore. I really need help this person has been bothering me for quite some time now. I also would really not like to change mt phone number… I hope this makes sense and someone can help me 🙁

- Upgrade to AIM 1.0 if you haven’t already here: AIM | Chat, Share, Connect
- After logging into the new AIM client, click File>Settings and click on the “Text messaging” tab on the left.
- Click “register a mobile device”, enter your phone number, click “Send Code Now”, and enter the code you receive on your cell phone.
- A new bar will appear for your confirmed cell phone number. Click “Edit” next to that number, and simply check “Block users from sending messages directly to
“.
When a new screen name IMs your phone via text for the first time, there may also be a “cover text” from AIM with instructions on how to block texts from that screen name only, but that may have changed since the upgrade to AIM 1.0.
Good luck and let us know if this solves your problem!
