What I do is use the in-built blocking features in Android to deter private numbers which may be a bit incovenient sometimes however unless I call someone, there is no reason I would want a call-center contacting me. By responding to such messages you are only confirming your existence.
My current SIM (touch wood) doesn't seem to be receiving much of this sort of thing. Not that I recall, although I do have missed caller notificatiion enabled which is kind of handy in some cases as it reveals the real contact number of the PPI/Accidental Injury Claims etc.
I'm on Pay Monthly so I don't know if that makes a difference, however I suspect not.
There's a few apps on the market for stopping these although I found Comodo Mobile Security to be the most effective for this sort of thing.

Try this then....https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.comodo.pimsecure
It does a bit more than just SMS blocking however doesn't need root to work and has keyword blocking as well. I used this and found this very sucessful. Comodo is probably one of the companies you could trust as well.
