They will have questions about it, but just pretend you know nothing. If they have the same cell provider as you, refer them to the provider for questions on it. They eventually stopped and I had my peace.
There's nothing on your phone that can do that. You can disable iMessage easy enough. Maybe even disable texts as well via your carrier, not sure. But without jailbreaking, theres nothing that will auto respond to them that tells them there was an error.
Try the jailbreak forum, they might help out some.
P.S. Go with the sharp cheddar, I hear its good.
They'll definitely ask me about it. I'll just play it off like maybe it's a service issue or whatever. If they somehow do find out I've blocked them, I'll simply tell them they can find their way off the list by getting the company to pay a third of my cell phone bill every month. Surely they won't even consider that, so I'm good. I have a home phone with an answering machine. They have that number, too. So it's not as if they can't reach me at all.
Why can't you tell them you're unavailable to change shift? You made plans, etc?

Keep me up to date and let me know if it works for you. Like I said, you don't have to be on top of sending your auto response, as long as they receive one from you. It could be blamed due to a delayed response. No different from a voicemail I receive 1 or 2 days later.
Remember, keep it authentic and create something as if it were sent from your carrier:
"Message Notification Unable 2/12/13 1430pm ref# spr:12jn345m"
Good Luck!
