[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 117262, member: 59"] Janet, myspace is not the culprit. I don't know which carrier you have but through Verizon you can block just those text messages that come through email or the internet. You have to block it yourself by registering on their text message page. I would think most other carriers can block just those texts too. Those 5 digit text numbers are usually premium texts and if you try to respond to them they assume you want the subscription. They are a real pain to delete and we have been charged $9.99 for three months now even though we sent several texts to them with STOP in the message which is suppose to stop them. My carrier credits us every month but we are having a very difficult time getting the subscription removed. I even had all downloads blocked on my difficult child's phone to try to stop them. Make sure you check your bill for any premium text charges and demand your carrier remove them. There is going to be a class action lawsuit someday because these wireless carriers should not be the billing agent for those premium text messages. Make sure no one ever sends a text message to one of those 5 digits numbers because they are suscriptions to things like ringtones, joke a day, astronomy a day, etc. Nancy [/QUOTE]
