    I hate that -.- people be playing around too much !-.-

    But ... Try & ask who it is . If you don't know who then say well who are you trying to reach ? If that doesn't work & the messages get way outta hand like let's say they ask something inappropriate I'd suggest telling a parent ! Or an older sibling . Just be like I been getting some texts & Idunno who they're from or say something like ill call the police or something ?

    Oh & is it your area number or does it look like another state ?

    Ask how they got your number ?

    Ask who their trying to contact?

    If its *67 then ignore them or insist on them to tell you. If you can see the phone number then call it and see if it answer. I did that once and it ended up to be my friend trying to annoy me.. hope it helped I'm new at answering questions so hope it helped :)

    Call your service provider (Bell, Verizon, Sprint, Ect.) and request that they block the number.
