Uber keeps texting me fucking codes for no fucking reason and it's reached a point where if there was ever a chance I was ever gonna use them, it's gone now. I tried a text blocking app but it doesn't work, and Mr. Number only lets you block phone calls. I'm tired of those fucking morons texting me when I don't even have an account.

NOTE: Before anyone tells me to text STOP, that doesn't always work. I want the number blocked.

It turned out I had an UberEATS account I forgot about so I deleted the account hoping that would get them to stop, but nope, it didn't. What app can I use to block the number? Uber permanently lost my business because of this issue.

You could always just get a new number.

I've had this number for years though. It would be easier to block the number. I tried a couple apps but they didn't work.

I use Textra. It lets you blacklist a number for texts so you never even know they sent them to you.

Well with my Android you can tap the three dots and scroll down to where it says "block". But of course I realize not all phones have that option even if both are running the same version of Android.

Yeah, Verizon is greedy as fuck and expects me to pay to block numbers, which is why I use Mr. Number.

I just downloaded that, thanks for the advice. Hitting the blacklist button made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. How do I schedule messages? Message+ has that feature.

I've never used message scheduling. Though it apparently says how to do it with Textra here.

Awesome. Looks like Textra is my new text messaging app, thanks for the help!

Apparently the texts are still getting through. Do I actually need to make Textra or Contacts+ my default messaging app for it to work?

Yes, it has to be the default messaging app to work.

And I forgot to mention that the app has ads until you pay for the $3.49 "pro version". But test and see if it's blocking the texts before you do that.

Did you even try changing the password? Your response was you tried deleting the account. Sounds like someone has your password and is trying to hack you.

Yeah, apparently I got a welcome back email from them, so I changed the password to something difficult to remember and deleted the account again.
