Receiving Spam SMS Messages from 33333300x / 22222000x Numbers

[Victor43]

Is anyone else receiving sexually explicit vulgar text messages ?

As the subject states is anyone else receiving vulgar sexually explicit text messages from numbers like 2220000 3333000 and so on ????? What are you doing about this ?

I'm just blocking each of these numbers as I get spams, and it seems to work. There only seem to be about 6 different numbers that it uses. Of course this will mean you won't be able to use the sms.rogers.com email-to-sms gateway, but you can still use pcs.rogers.com as it uses a different range of numbers.
