I am getting spam text messages. When I try to block them, there is no "block" option listed. 

Here is what I am doing: If you're in Messages, open the conversation, tap the contact at the top of the conversation, then tap info icon. Tap the name or phone number, scroll to the bottom of the Info screen, then tap Block this Caller. 

Unfortunately, when I scroll to the bottom of the info screen, there is NO option available to BLOCK this tester. :(

By the way, is "HIDE" the same as the "BLOCK" option?
