Some carriers have SMS spam blocking in place. You may want to try calling your carrier to see if you can have those numbers blocked from spamming you. Unfortunately, T-Mobile does not have any such service available.

Oops, sorry Dave. (jk)
About every cellphone can be addressed as 9995551212@cellcompany.com
Spammers can use a dictionary attack (trying 1210, 1211, 1212... ) to keep at it.
I wonder why we don't get more spam. It may be that cellphone spam has been outlawed. In may case it costs me like 15 cents a message.
i just had a skip tracer call my cellphone. I told him not to call again. I think that's illegal, too.

They are offering....unmentionable things. "Go to my website to get some....."
I will have to turn messaging off if this keeps up.
I can block individual numbers from my phone but that is an E. In F.
Its ATT ex-Cingular.
Thank you.

Yeah, I didn't even know I had text messaging until I got an ad for some, eh, um, uh... interesting apparatus for, um, romantic purposes. I called Verizon and disabled the text messaging. Almost no one has my cell number, anyway; and I would get arthritis trying to type a message on that little keypad.
