Fed up with Political Spam texts
I receive anywhere from 5 to 25 political texts every day primarily asking for money. It has to end. I report them all as spam but each is from a different number and there is no shortage. Any thoughts on reducing the number that get through to me? thank you
I just keep blocking the. They will eventually run out of numbers to use. You can also sign up for the National Do Not Call List. It will take a few months for it to start working but it made a massive difference for me after a year of signing up for it.
This won’t stop them, but it makes it easier to ignore them/bulk delete them (iPhone):
Settings>Messages>Message Filtering: Filter Unknown Senders - ON
Let them accumulate in the Unknown Senders section of Messages. Occasionally check Unknown Senders. You can Delete All by tapping the three dots in a circle at the top, then Select Messages, then Select All (top left), then Delete (bottom right).
I get the text also but they rarely slip through the spam filter and usually deposited into the spam folder.

Unfortunately, the National Do Not Call registry will not prevent political call or texts as they state on their website:
After you register, other types of organizations may still call you, such as charities, political groups, debt collectors and surveys. To learn more, read our FAQs.
