This is equivalent to blocking SMSManager altogether from your phone!
I don't think this would be possible.

A broadcast sent when SMS is received.
You can register a handler for that and block the sms from being shown in the inbox.
But block sending!? Only way out is to keep the phone in airplane mode.

Came across another posting that seems to indicate that it is possible: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7595092/how-to-block-outgoing-calls-and-text-sms – Johann Oct 16 '12 at 06:56
Its for blocking calls, which is possible, but i did not get anything from the thread indicating SMS sending can be blocked.. – Royston Pinto Oct 16 '12 at 07:05
