I am receiving text messages on a loop that just say:
My inbox only holds 10 messages and when I delete this message the inbox is full again within a few seconds so if anybody I know wants to text me they can't. I checked my balance and it is not costing me any money to receive this text so I can't understand what it is about.
The texts are coming from ++..... if anyone has had similar messages from the same number.
I don't know what to do
The first time I received it was a few days ago and I replied saying I think you have the wrong number. But now I am receiving this message well loads.... today I have received it at least 80 times.Hey train in t

have you tried calling the number?
I wouldnt do that, some numbers phone you then dont let you answer and you call back and its a premium number. Rule of thumb is if its one of these advertising things (possibly?) then text back with the word "STOP". But I'm not sure, why not phone your provider and see what advice they can give?
079 numbers are mobile phone numbers.
Otherwise try googling the number.
Well at least it has stop...
Orange offered me a free nmber change but I don't really want a new number as I've had the same number for nearly 6 years and telling everyone would be such a hassle and I'd almost certainly forget some people and lose touch with them etc as I only have a mobile number not a land line.
I'm going to give it a couple of days and see if they fuck off of their own accord.
They can't stop them texting you, but they CAN block you from receiving texts from that number. I'd push to get it sorted. I knew a girl who was receiving mailicious calls and texts, and they blocked her from receiving texts and calls from that number.
I might try to call T-mobile later if it doesn't stop.
I'm up to over 100 message today but I'm just going to leave the inbox full as I can't stand the beeping and it fills up as quickly as I can delete them anyway.
Might try the police though if it goes on.
And when I first got the message a few days ago I even bothered to tell them they had the wrong number as I thought they would want to re-send it to the correct person.
