Is there a way to block incoming SMS on my Twilio phone number?

Unlike voice, there’s no way to block specific SMS messages or sending parties. You can disable SMS completely for one Twilio number, but you cannot selectively reject messages.

If you would like to block all SMS, you can remove the URL from the SMS section of your phone number settings in your dashboard. After doing this you will not be charged for, nor will you receive, SMS to your Twilio number.
