SMS Spam? I get 30 per Day!!! Can I turn off SMS?

[olliesshop]

I currently have an XDA I and expecting an i-Mate XDA II in a week or so. Has anyone else experienced SMS Spam? I get about 30 SMS Spam message a day !!! My current XDA I is through AT&T and they said they need SMS to download software updates. Although, my XDA II will be an i-Mate and not supported by AT&T, therefore I should be able to turn SMS off.

Is there any way to turn SMS off on the XDA II?

Thanks.

Mate, afaik there is a law in the States protecting you against it. You need to register with a service. Dunno though if it's with AT&T or provider independant.

Thanks, I'll check into that.

Dunno if it's a "system command" but here in Holland we can block (commercial) SMS by sending "stop" to "255"
