Text spam from Republicans

[karlac]

It does no good when they spoof a new random number every time.
One down; 10^10-1 to go...

Yep, have to play that wack-a-mole every damn day ...

Am I the only one who just blocks the number?.....

They come from a different number every time.

My number 1 rule....if I don't recognize number, I don't answer period. You're free to leave a message.

when the numbers they use constantly change, it's a losing battle to block them.

Did you ask him for a bill of sale?

Huh? For what? Maybe I should get it, but I don't.

T-Mobile has spam filters for both calls and texts, just have to turn them on.

Has made a HUGE difference.

With my job, I can't just ignore texts or check twice a day. They could be urgent with people's safety involved, or operational issues with huge impacts on customer's revenue.

So they are a distraction and interruption.

When I say ignore, I don't mean don't look. Just recognize it's spam and move on. Takes all of a second or however long it takes to glance. I have a job too where I use my phone/texts for communication and it just doesn't bother me. Unfortunately, unwanted texts are the new cold calling, whether political or otherwise.

I get tired of being interrupted, for however short a time, from doing work (or doing other things in my off hours) to stop and look at the stupid phone.

If I don't have the number programmed in my phone I let go to vm.
If no message I block and delete.
I don't get many.
Most will flash Telemarketer or Spam.

Irritating, yes. I just trash them. I at times even get some from the dems, those make me chuckle. I'd rather get texts than mailings, those don't fill my waste basket.

I keep getting texts to support Joe Biden. I just respond "FJB", block the number and report it as SPAM.

 

[Whalercohasset]

A Republican would be a nice change, all I get are democrats. Most of whom are not even from Texas. Why some jackass from Ohio is begging me for money I have no clue.

 

[oldag]

Thankfully, no calls. Just texts.

 

[TXAZ]

A friend found a way to lessen the number of texts: He replies back with: “Does (…..) deny sexual assaulting a middle school boy last month?”

 

[DoubleDuty]

I just made it clear I don't have any money since the democrats have fucked up the economy so bad.

After 20 minutes or so (when I remember to check for messages) then, well bye. Blocked and dropped.

I used to sign up for campaign alerts from Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et al. Of course I used my boss's email address. Work was boring and it was funny to hear him swearing across the hall.

One of my "friends" gave my email address to the DNC, Biden, and Planned Parenthood...

I like your style!

I check my texts and email. sometimes in the morning while brewing coffee, other times at the end of the day. Either way, I just delete 95% of them in a matter of minutes and go on with my life.
You can unsubscribe until August 35th and they will still keep coming, so just highlight and delete. Its just that easy

Now spam phone calls, thats a whole other gaming platform worthy of a thread of its own on how to screw with those idiots. At least when you get one that actually has a pulse instead of a digital voice.

I use the Verizon Call Filter app on my phone. If the number is not in my phone book it goes straight to voicemail and my phone won't even ring. They have a paid version of the app, and I tried it, but the free version works just fine.
