Unable to send SMS to a 5-digit number

Good day! Is it possible to send SMS on a 5-digit number? Example would be the screenshot below. I am getting an error message when sending SMS to this number. 59963 is the recipient of the SMS.

No, sorry.  It will work of course work with a 10 digit number but anything less than that  they system searches for an extension within the account.

I'd like to be able to block these type of numbers. We receive 1-2 SPAM messages a week from 5 digit numbers.

Hello,

I don't have a 5 digit number to test this with but have you tried blocking the number according to these instructions?

I did block the number, however, when I entered the 5 digit number, the web portal inserted a 1 before the number. I will have to wait and see if the messages stop.

Saadet,

Got another text message from '25102' today. When I checked our blocked numbers, '125102' was still there in the list. I deleted it, and tried entering '25102' but, the webportal automatically added the '1'.

I cannot believe RC cannot take the time to fix this issue that has been existing for YEARS!
Absolutely ridiculous!

I get that RingCentral views shorter numbers as extensions, but why can't it be a prompt?  "Is this an extension or a short code you are responding to?"
