Is there a way to block them?

Please help. My phone is bombarded with rubbish SMS ads everyday.

Cheers

Reply with STOP. Just that, STOP.

That's what tmobile told me to do. They deducted the text charges from my bill and I replied STOP to the next few spam texts I got. I didn't have a real bad problem. Never gave out my mobile # or used it to register for anything, but still got the odd SMS spam once in a while. But haven't received one in a long time now.

I believe I've read you can have SMS disabled by the carrier, but it is all or nothing.

I have had that and the "STOP" reply worked, although I did have to send it to a few different SMS`s.

Also I think most phone companies will let you block SMS's that come from to mobile phone number i.e. .

Problem I was having was the SMS I was getting had a shortened number, and it didn't match the convention that was explained to me by the tmo rep. I tried googling and got nothing.

Tmobile said they had ways of dealing with the spammers, but STOP ended up working for me. I wonder if it was the same person, swithching numbers somehow, or the same two or three people.
