Is there a way to set up my phone so that the texting does not work and users get a message back saying so?

Then call them to block it and whoever sends you a text will receive a message(9230) that you have chosen not to receive text messages.

So can I call Sprint and turn off all my texting and everyone will get that message?

Yes. You can probably do it yourself online. Think it would be the same like a sprint rep doing it on the phone.

Make sure to turn off your phone after you block the texts so that the changes take effect.

Still looking for the option under my Sprint account.

It should be by the account settings. Are you on a mobile device or desktop?

Surprised that it wouldn't just send everyone that message.

Well sprint is always going to be a bit backwards, like this they always have to 'sprint foward'.
