Blocking an aggregator is a soft stop — your clients can still create messages, but they won't be sent out. Instead, they'll wait in the SMS queue until you unblock the aggregator. This is useful when you need to pause traffic to a specific aggregator without losing any messages.
Go to Current Traffic → Routing → Aggregators.
Find the aggregator you need and look at the Actions column, find the brick icon next to the aggregator:
Blue icon — the aggregator is active. Click it to block.
Red icon — the aggregator is blocked. Click it to unblock.
A confirmation message will appear at the top of the page letting you know whether the aggregator has been blocked or unblocked.
While an aggregator is blocked, any messages routed through it will queue up in Current Traffic → Queue of SMS and will be sent automatically once you unblock it:

You can also block an aggregator directly from the Queue of SMS, SMS full data, and Incoming SMS pages. Click on the aggregator's name in the list — a pop-up menu will appear with a set of quick actions, including the block button. |
You can use whichever page is most convenient — the result is the same regardless of where you trigger the block.
