How do I stop random companies from sending me automated SMS text messages?
-
I have an Irish sim but get texts from numbers with offshore area codes such as Sudan and Saudi Arabia. Will simply replying "STOP" fix the issue?

Answer:
Sadly, you probably can't stop the messages yourself. The sender's are using mobile phone numbers instead of short codes. Using these, they don't have to follow any of the rules, such as replying with STOP to end messages, that apply to short code use. The only hope is that your mobile operator gets enough complaints and tries to identify the text spammers and stop their messages. Start by complaining to your operator and give them the number the messages come from as well as the content of the message. Date/Time is helpful, too.
