How to block SMS and calls from 29156030

Blocking a text message on Android and iOS is really easy. Just access the Messages or SMS application and then click on the message whose sender we want to block. Then, we will click on the three points on the top bar of the interface and finally on Details. Within this menu the application will allow us to block the sender of the message, regardless of the phone number.

To block calls from 29156030, the way to proceed is practically identical, except that this time we will have to resort to the Telephone or Calls application. Within the record of missed or received calls, we will press and hold the number that we want to block until a contextual menu with different options appears, among which is Block number or Block record, depending on the version of the system.

Another option we can use is based on using independent applications, such as Mr. Number for iPhone or True Caller for Android. The advantage of these applications is that they already have a telephone number database fed by other users. If the number matches any of the application's records, the call will be blocked automatically without us having to intervene manually (as long as we activate the filter for calls and SMS spam).
