I just got my Galaxy S5 and love it. I know you can add numbers to a reject list so when they call it takes them to your voicemail and you get no notification that even called. Is there a way to add those numbers to a reject list so when they text you get no notification as well, or am I stuck with receiving their texts still? I know there's other apps that block texts, but from all the ones I've tried the screen still lights up when the blocked messages come in, and the one that didn't like up I did not like at all.
 
Verizon phones have the spam filter removed, which was why I asked here... any other way? My phone was bought unlocked, so don't know they removed features on unlocked phones. :(

If you can't find an app to do it, all I can think is to flash another ROM, but iirc, Verizon lock their bootloaders, so that might not be so easy either

There are guides on XDA, but I'm in the UK and my bootloader is already unlocked, so I can't help any further with that, sorry

I tried the first app I used on my last phone again (Chomp), it works fine on the Galaxy S5. On the last phone, the screen would light up when receiving a text from a blocked number, so you would know someone was trying to talk... I did not like that. On the Galaxy S5 it doesn't light up now, so all is good!
