Hi all,

I've been receiving some annoying spam text messages recently. I think I know where from - a website to a club crawl event that gave you free access if you signed up and provided a mobile number. Bit silly I know, but I didn't expect it to be this annoying.

I have tried texting "STOP" to it like any ordinary service would allow you to do, but there is no valid number to send it back to. I have tried blocking it, but with the same failure - no number...

I was wondering how you could block something like this?
 
I haven't needed to use it yet but AVG just released an update that includes call and text message blocking.
 
Blacklist+ no use?
I'm trying a Blacklist app now, but won't know for a few days as they sometimes have periods of no activity. I was hoping not to use an app of some kind.

Giffgaff have a 7726 spam complaint service I just forwarded several of the text to. Hopefully both of these methods will stop it!
