All of a sudden, about a week ago, I started to get about 3-4 junk text messages a day. Prior to that I probably received one per month. I have no idea why this increased so suddenly—I imagine that some merchant that I provided my phone number to sold it to spammers.
The issue is that each of these comes from a new number each time. So, blocking the number or forwarding it to Verizon doesn't do much, because I just get a subsequent junk text from a different number.
Is there anything I can do?
