How to Automatically Silence SMS from 0330 / 087 Numbers on Samsung Galaxy

Spam messages from 0330 and 087 numbers can be distracting and sometimes contain scam content. Samsung Galaxy devices provide features to automatically silence or filter messages from specific number prefixes, allowing you to manage your inbox without missing important messages from trusted contacts.

Quick Tip: Using number-based filtering ensures you silence unwanted SMS while keeping notifications for contacts active.

Understanding Samsung Galaxy SMS Management

Samsung Galaxy devices use the Messages app with built-in spam and filtering tools. These allow you to:

  • Filter messages based on number prefixes
  • Silence notifications from unknown numbers
  • Maintain notifications for saved contacts

To ensure important messages are not missed:
