Fight back against spam text messages

[omni550]

In the past 6 months or so, I've noticed a definite increase in spam texts on my cellphone.

Today's NYT has an article on this and some steps to take. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/05/t...ighting-back-against-spam-texts.html?src=recg

Thanks for sharing. DW has been complaining about this lately.

We use AT&T. and get at least one or two spam texts per month.
We report them every time, and we've never received one from the same number after reporting it.

To report a spam text to AT&T, forward the message to SPAM (7726).

Thanks - didn't know that and have been getting more and more of them lately.
