Spam Group Text - 🚫
This week I started getting spam group text mesaages daily. How do I make it stop? Guessing my number was stolen or sold. Also Messager isn't even allowing me to block the whole thing, have to individually block all 20 numbers but each day different numbers.

Same issue here the last couple days. I've taken to blocking the numbers the last two times and it's still happening. One of the numbers I previously blocked was still on the group the second time as well. I keep deleting and it doesn't help. Second picture shows the number that came in even though it was blocked.

Forward the text to SPAM (7726). I have been receiving so many of these, I created a contact called SPAM because I kept forgetting 7726… DO NOT CLICK THE LINK

Seems like this is a known issue with other carrier users too. Google it and you will see articles about this same spam issue on the NY times, Cnet, etc. Seems like Verizon did something to block these off for thier users, hope T-Mobile will do something soon.

I been doing this.
Desde cualquier pantalla principal, presiona Mensajería.
Presiona la tecla Menú.
Presiona Configuraciones.
If necessary, tap Spam settings to select the check box.
Tap Register number as spam.
Tap Create.
Ingresa de forma manual el número o presiona el ícono Contactos para agregar un contacto.
Cuando termines, presiona Guardar.I like this method but not sure how to do this that someone posted.

Can someone kindly give steps on how to set this up? Can you forward a text? Also what do I do after that follow by typing in 7726

I've been getting the same March bill paid with phishing link for two days. I have been consistently blocking all the numbers in the group (hit down arrow on mass txt and then each number and block). I don't know if it's helping, I am still getting the txts. I will start forwarding to 7726. I've devoted a bunch of time today to blocking numbers, I hope there is a solution found soon. The only other mitigation I've found is to turn off notifications for the mass txts, so at least there is no sound. The double edged sword of technology is becoming ever sharper on the negative side.

We have the same issue.
I would argue that it is a consolidated cyber attack from either state or non state actors (Russian or Chinese) due to the Western nations response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The best advice that most have given here is not to click on the “link/links”, all of the websites which are fake and or tied to malware / ransomware.
I’m sure that T-Mobile is aware and working on a fix, but at this point just delete the text and or next texts that may hit your phone / iPhone.

My Samsung 5G note20 plus does NOT give that option at all. This is the only options available.

It's too bad T-Mobile wasn't more helpful I've been with them for like over 1314 years I'm highly disappointed I don't know I think I'm gonna be looking for a new cell phone company if this crap doesn't stop this is ridiculous multiple messages multiple times it's whole times it's A-day every day for months
