Spam texts daily

[Kim39]

Every day from 6:30am and night until about 11pm (when I'm asleep) and through the day, I'm receiving text messages about receiving a new voicemail. I don't even have voicemail on my phone. I report it as spam, but they just use a different number!!! Fed up of it..

As inconvenient as it may be, changing your number would fix it.

Im afraid there is very little you can do about it, as these people just import excel files with a range of numbers into automated apps, and then spam people.

Best thing to do is to keep reporting them to 7726 as you are doing, and I know o2 (and other mobile networks) are actively trying to get these things shutdown and the criminals taken to court etc.

Your other option is to change your mobile number...

Yes, that was what I thinking... Changing my number. Thanks for help

I had this problem too...

If you have an Android phone, install the "Messages" app from google (instead of "Messaging") and use it as your default messaging app.

There is a "spam and blocked" setting in it, and almost all of those annoying "you have received a new voicemail" texts will go straight there instead of to your inbox. You can also turn off the notifications for the spam folder, so you that you won't be disturbed by them. It has picked up all of mine for the last few weeks - result
