Spam text messages

Post by GORDON »

Anyone have a good method of blocking spam texts? I've gotten about 15 so far today. They use fake phone numbers, like the robocallers do, so I can't block them. Android/Google's "Block Spam Texts" doesn't work at all, unless otherwise I'd be getting more and I just don't know it.

Is a whitelist my only option?

Started a couple months ago. Some days I get zero, I usually get 2, today I'm well over 10.

I don't get any either.

Make sure your cell number is registered on the Do Not Call list. There's also a report feature there. Try reporting the numbers texting you.

Pretty sure the sending numbers are spoofed. I block them every time, but it's always a different number.

I still get them.

When I Block and Report, I get 4 more that day.

When I Block without reporting, they stop for a few days.

I cannot recall the last time I got one.
