I keep getting spam text messages! I tried sending STOP but it doesn’t work. I can only block 25 numbers and I used them up months ago. An especially annoying one tells me that I have used up my cloud memory and am in danger of losing all my data. I checked myself and I’ve only used 32% so it’s got to be a scammer. Any suggestions?

So do all of the roughly 6 billion Earthlings who have cell phones. The way the SMS network has been designed there is no way to stop them; there are ways to make them a little less annoying, however, as Raicya has posted.
