How To Block Cell Phone Text Message Spam from AOL IM
Was rudely awoken by a text message this morning at 6AM telling me I need to jump on some godforsaken penny stock before it makes a big run this week. The message came from 265-060 which apparently is the AOL Instant Message-to-SMS gateway. Verizon Wireless doesn’t have an easy way to block this since it’s not actually coming from an email address. So, even though I never opted-in, I need to opt out by sending a text to 265019 with the word “out” in the message. More info here: How to opt-out of receiving AOL IM messages. These spammers are the scum of the earth.
