You can do a few things. 1 is to call your provider and block text messages all together. Most wont want this so there are a few other options. (note* texts from your provider are free and not considered spam I think.)

http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/12/how-to-block-cellphone-spam/

Other than trying this stuff there is also the 'National Do Not Call Registry' which covers cell phones as well as land lines:

https://www.donotcall.gov/

I am not sure but I think they also have a feature in the works for the text spam coming soon (if not already).


Also, http://www.fonefinder.net/ is pretty cool for tracking phone numbers by location. Sort of like a reverse phone book.

This too http://www.whitepages.com/reverse-lookup

The method I use also works. I never turn on my cell phone (except in emergencies or if I really need to call someone or receive a call). Works like a charm!
