Stop texts

My boss is wanting to know if there is a way to stop people from texting our Ring Central phone number? It's not that I can't receive the messages and forward them to her through email, she just doesn't want people sending text messages to the office number.


If there's not a way to stop people from texting, is there a way to send an auto-reply to texters saying "Message undeliverable" or something?

I need the same information. It's annoying to have to get spam txts on the ring central numbers that used to be landlines.
