How can I block specific messages on android?

[AC Question]

For the past one month I have been getting messages from PGC, IT'S NUMBER IS NOT SHOWN. These messages are very irritating. Which software is best for blocking these. I have two cell phones; S4 Mini and Qmobile Noir i5(also android). How can I block these messages? My service providers are not helping that much. Please tell me a good software to block these messages. Thanks in advance .

Welcome to Android Central! Any idea what PGC is? Do you have any apps by that name, or from a company that might go by that name?

Are the messages coming as notifications in the notification bar, or are they popups?

I don't have any app by that name, PGC is a company. Their messages come as notifications in the notification bar.

Does your device have a feature of Message Block? If yes, enable it.
In addition, some devices even support setting 'blocked phrase list'.

My S4 has it. I added PGC on the spam list on my S4. My other device Q-mobile Noir i5 does not have this feature. So, that's why I'm asking for a software.

Are these text messages or emails?

text messages

In the messaging app, within that conversation, can you tap on or long-press the PGC avatar? Does that give you any options?

 

[kamil_hassaan]

On S4, it does but not on Noir i5

On the S4, when you long-press the contact, can you specifically get the phone number?

 

[kamil_hassaan]

No I don't

What kind of company is PGC? Can you contact them and ask them to unsubscribe?
