The amount of spam texts I get from Republican campaigns

drislands@lemmy.world to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 550 points –

It's been going on for months and no matter how many I mark as spam and block they keep coming back with new numbers!

Makes me wonder if someone signed me up for something

Welcome to !privacy@lemmy.ml - you'll learn not to share your phone number with strangers.

Looks more like someone (a friend or family member) signed him up as a prank. There’s not much you can do about that specifically.

OP, are you signed up to the federal do not call registry? That might help. https://www.donotcall.gov/

The only other thing I do is either block any text from people not in your contact list and/or use a paid service like RoboKiller.

Does that mean Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram, or...? /s
