Mobile networks - Do they have a text message spam filter?
Someone is using my phone number when making online enquires. They've been doing it for about 2 months now. So I'm getting unsolicited texts and calls.

I've decided to attempt to contact the person to persuade them to stop. In my country, I predict I'll need to send 100 text messages to find them...if they respond to the text. It feels like they're changing a digit of their own phone number.

The content of the text will be exactly the same, it'll be using a newly registered sim, and I'll be using a GSM module connected to my computer.

If this were emails, I imagine Google and Microsoft would probably mark the emails as spam. And so I'm curious if mobile networks would treat text messages in the same manner?

I ask in this sub because I imagine someone in this community has played with mass text messages and I can't think of a better sub.

Mobile networks do have some spam protections, depending on the service provider. The problem is that many of these networks allow phone number spoofing, meaning you can call from a number you donโ€™t own. This bypasses a lot of the anti-spam protections in place. Itโ€™s a huge problem world wide and thereโ€™s not much anyone can do about it because networks donโ€™t want to spend the money to fix it, and government agencies wonโ€™t force them to fix it. (Often because these government agencies get lobbied by the networks)

Thereโ€™s really just not much you can do. Even if you call the original number, thereโ€™s probably not a person on the other side, just a computer.
