tower messages

I understand that the hotspot home internet has a phone number associated with it. That doesn't mean it should be able to receive messages. It should be like when you try to text a land line. It should have a reply message that tells the sender "this number does not send or receive texts" . Or something to that affect. Mine had 175 messages on it. Not only were the texts all spam and wrong numbers, but you also have to delete them 1 at a time. This is time consuming. I don't know if this is causing the internet to keep losing signal or not. We have to reboot it all the time. When it works, it works great.
