How to Block & Unblock Incoming SMS from Gmail
Gmail SMS service is indeed an extremely useful feature which will certainly help users in the emerging markets that are not fully occupied by smartphones, and internet connections are still unreliable there. However, this service becomes bothersome when you start getting unsolicited text messages on your mobile phone. It becomes more frustrating and annoying because you usually don’t delete a text message without opening it. Moreover, these messages can be expensive as well because in some plans, you are also getting charged for even receiving text messages. In order to deal with such situations, Google has restricted its users to send too many messages from web to mobile. In fact, your user id will also be blocked if mobile recipient will not respond to your SMS messages, and you will not be allowed to send any more messages in the future. In this way, the mobile recipient will not be harassed or get spam messages from anyone. But apart from this, you can also block that person from sending messages to you.
