its vert easy to block text msgs on boost.

1) send text msg to 9999

2) write: block (followd by a single space) then the number without hyphens example:

block 1234567890

3) hit send.

you will receive a confirmation text msg within a minute.

If you wish you unblock a number youuse the same procedure except your text should say

allow 1234567890

its very easy to do. and it works perfectly with both sprint and boost.

Type in 9999 as if you were making a call, then hit send message. In the message body type Block & then the 10-digit # you wish to block & then hit send. It will send you a confirmation that the number had been blocked.

Boost does not have a call block option it only allows users to send unwanted calls straight to voice mail. 

however you can block unwanted tests by bringing up new message and in the number/contact name box type 9999 then in the topic box type block and the 10 digit phone # 000123555  <just like that no dishes and send

 There are a few good apps free and paid that work fine, for blocking in coming unwanted calls and text messages   go to market/apps search blocker .
