I have had a very minimal amount of these texts, so far. I do belong to the do not call lists and I am sure some of these places get around it. I try not to give out my cell phone number and that helps, but if it is the only phone you have, that could be a problem.
I am so fed up with spam and even porn I get on my computer. It is a little better but I report the computer spam to my provider or to yahoo (where most of the spam is coming from) and to spam@uce.com then I block it.
If it is a commercial text some texts say you can just report STOP back, and so far that seems to work. Even if it doesn't say that, do it anyway. If there is a phone no I sometimes call it on my landline to see if I can find out who called it.
What really annoys me to are the occasional voice mail messages or actual calls I get and then they waste 5 minutes of my time til I get to the end when it says press a certain no. to stop it. I don't listen to my messages until after 9 pm most of the time or I just delete them if it is an unknown number.
Certain places like charities are not subject to the do not all list!! some charities are not registered to legally ask for money, at least in NYS. I learned a lot after writing to my congress reps and the attorney general. The Robo calls I was getting have finally stopped. One of the charities was not registered and I think it was investigated. All of a sudden the calls stopped and not just to me but others I know!
