Block/Deactivate SMS to Landline

NotGaz · ‎15-04-2026

Hello, is there a way to completely reject sms, at all times, from being received by (digital/voip) landline?
I tried calling the number for adjusting the settings but it only allowed me access to curfew times.
There was no option to switch it off, which I believe should be '5' (??).

I have on my Panasonic handsets SMS > Public > Settings > SMS On/Off > OFF. Can't you set something similar?

However, thinking about it when you say "tried calling the number for adjusting the settings", I don't think you mean SMS at all but are referring to 1571 VM. That can't be turned OFF but you can lengthen the Ring Period to give time for your own answering machine or yourself to pick it up.
