Re: [apple-iphone] Spam texts

I forward all AT&T spam test to "SPAM". AT&T will text back and ask for the
phone number that the text came from. Replay with the phone number and they
will send a thank you message. All these texts are free. This is not going
to stop spam texts but I think it helps.

I also get spam texts sent to my Google Voice number. Not much I can do
about these messages.
