Hi BL - I have the same issue. I use an app called Text Plus Gold. I have a dedicated number provided by the company. I give anyone that I know might text me that number. I know that does nothing for the spam but I haven't been bothered by that much spam. I may get one every 3-4 months. I text very little but by friends and family like to. Since I got the special number my text charges are negligible.

Ok, so the problem with all this is you never know until AFTER you've sent it, what it went as and if you'll be charged or not. Not having a texting plan, every message in and out costs. I want to know if I'll be charged before it is sent. Once it's sent, it's too late.I have an unlimited data plan, but even if I didn't, I have a data plan, so it's covered in my normal bill. With these text messages, I cannot control my bill as even spam that gets sent to me, I have to pay for the privilege of receiving that junk. Not only that, but then to stop it, I have to then pay to send another text to say stop. I don't have a text plan because I don't want or use texting attached to my phone number. I can text for free with a third party app. Problem is, I can't disable texting itself. And with iMessage intertwined with SMS message, I guess they can't be decoupled. I don't use iMessage either b ecause I don't text and if I did, how am I to know if the other person has the same phone as me?
Cheers,B.L>
