    How to stop spam political text

    Is there anyway to get this garbage to stop. I have had 5 this morning alone. I do not hit stop or reply. I have not taken any survey or done anything with my phone number. I’m sick of it.

    I just “Delete and Report as Junk”. I still get them, but not near as many as I was a few months ago.

      I'm on android and just switched to Google messages. I think their new rich text format. It auto blocks and has a spam text folder. Helped a ton!

        I do the same as Bisch, but I usually respond with a picture out of the assortment I have set aside for spammers/scammers. It seems to have slowed things down a good bit.

        And no, I can’t post the images and GIF files I send to them on here.

          They are annoying but we are in a fight for our country. I just deal with them.

              Yeah I hear you but these are getting rediculous. I just got 2 more since making this thread. I don’t need any political spam text I know which way I am voting.

                  This is the way. It catches every single one without me having to mess with them.

                    Just reply that you are a better shot than the last guy. Mine stopped.

                      I do that for phone calls, didn’t know it worked for texts - must be a different setting because they still come into mine.

                        On iPhone you go to your message icon and cut them off.

                          My wife texted back the middle finger emoji and she got a response taking you off the list

                            I’m in sales and that would tank my income, so that wouldn’t be an option.

                              Sorry for your luck, the last time I had customers I was using a flip phone !
