I used one telco provider in Philippines for a while that did something like this, sending lots of SMS spam. I had to threaten cancellation to get it slowed down.
In the USA, T-Mobile spammed me like this. Again, very difficult to stop the spam.
I think eventually this will be unstoppable, at which point I guess I'll stop using SMS and/or stop using phones.
I can't wait 'til the day I'm sitting in a group, and everyone keeps pulling out their phones every 30 seconds to clear another SMS spam, and then call me a luddite when I say I don't have a phone.
- pkaye 10y agoThat is strange regarding T-Mobile. I've yet to get any spam from them. The only thing I get is an SMS a few days before billing occurs monthly.

- nononosisisi 10y agoIt is fairly easy to block a number now.

- r00fus 10y agoMust've been years ago on TMO. In fact I think there was some suit. Since about 2013, they've changed a LOT. Data is much better now, coverage is very good in metros, and sucks outside, but that's fine with me. Guess if you live in certain areas (e.g. Los Gatos, CA) you might have to get VZ or something - though I hear they're doing a lot to fix that (e.g. band12 LTE using 700Mhz spectrum).
