I have used the 8888 shortcode with success. To block send a text to 8888, in the message line put B + the 10 digit number. For example B9195548741. If it doesn't work leave a space between the B and the number. Ex: B 9195548741. To unblock, sent U + 10 digit number to 8888. This works for Alltel I can confirm, I'm going to try my verizon phone this evening!! There have been several questions about Shortcodes. I have used the 8888 shortcode with success.
