If you're like me, these past few months you've been bombarded with texts from political campaigns that are totally unsolicited. Over and over again, I block the sender and report it as junk to my carrier, but they just keep coming in. And the tone that these messages are taking is just insane; like, "Robert, you must do more to help...." 

I'm sorry, what?! You're not asking, but commanding me to donate? 

I've gotten about three to five of these a day for the past few months, always addressed to either a Robert or a Shelly. Needless to say, I am not Robert or Shelly. I think Shelly was the old lady who had this phone number before me and I still get a lot of general spam and potentially important messages for her. (How many times do I have to tell these callers that I am not her?) Apparently, T-Mobile decided to hook me up to this horrible, reused set of digits. And they're for an area code I'm nowhere nearby!

All of that alone make me frustrated, then you throw in these campaign texts, and I want to rip my hair out. 

So, I did some surfing on the internet and discovered you can report these relentless texts directly to the FCC. Like I said, reporting it as spam to T-Mobile and Apple as I have been seemingly does nothing, so hopefully this actually might make a difference.
