    Worth reminding people that you should not reply with 'STOP' to these spam msgs, and instead forward the text onto your mobile provider.

    For O2 & giffgaff, forward the msg to 7726: SPAM and unwanted subscription texts - O2

    Because that will confirm to them that your number is 'live' which will be worth a lot more to them as they can sell it on but will also mean you'll be guaranteed to get a lot more SMS spam in future.

    Also, as good as it makes you feel to tell them to f-off they'll only register that they've received a response from your number and won't be reading the content of the message.

    In some cases they also get paid up to £10 for every reply they receive back
