How to stop spam texts?
As you might expect, text message spam is similar to email spam. This term refers to any unwanted message, which is usually distributed in advertisements and other garbage. It can come in the form of 'special offers', claiming that you have won a contest, advertising financial services, and the like.
If you proceed through these links, you will usually be asked for your personal information in order to 'redeem the offer'. Of course, providing these details to their spammers so that they can junk you or make you worse, try to steal your identity.
Even if you know how to ignore these messages, they take up space in your inbox. For those who have a limited texting plan, getting this message is a waste of money.
In a single case, reporting text spam using the above methods should suffice. But if you are constantly receiving SMS spam, you should know how to block these messages.
Although text blocking apps are out of the scope of this discussion, we have a guide on how to block SMS spam on Android and the best apps for blocking SMS spam on iPhone.
In addition, remember that you should avoid interacting with spam texts. Don't follow any links, because they are probably dangerous. Also avoid replying to your spam messages, as this will let the spammer know that they have a live number so they can send you more.
Finally, be careful about where you enter your phone number. Websites often offer free ringtones and other content in exchange for your phone number; Providing this puts your number in the hands of spammers.
