What to do about spam texts?
I keep getting spam texts saying I win Best Buy cards and crap... what should I do about this? Is there a no-not-text list I can join? And is there a way to report the numbers that text me?

Check the Verizon Wireless Facebook page, they just posted how to report spam texts. Or, you know, Google it.

I disabled the option for texts from emails, and it eliminated nearly ever spam text. |

If you have an android, download Go Sms and it has the option to blacklist numbers from texting you. Oh, and it's free |
