My iPhone gets a lot of junk messages. How can I stop that?

My iPhone gets 20 to 30 spam messages per day. I reply with a code from Verizon: 7726. This stop that one message from repeating but it does not help with the continuing influx of spam. How do I stop this?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

Go to Settings > Messages, scroll down to Message Filtering, then turn on Filter Unknown Senders. When this setting is on, you can only see messages from people who aren't in your contacts when you go to Filters > Unknown Senders.
