How Do I Block i.Glide Spam ?

[w1ksz]

Every day I get a text message from 617-372-2303 about joining something
called Glide. It directs me to a web site: i.glide.me

I tried blocking the phone number, but it seems to be getting through. I tried
e-mailing the company but all I got was a robot response.

The Feds will do nothing about text messages, but I consider this to border on
harassment.

Any ideas ??

Thanks and Happy New Year,

Richard S.

I always found BlackList to work. Block it as containing, not exact, because the callerID sent might contain the +1 at the beginning.

I texted the reply "STOP" when I got the message and received a text back saying I was off the list, try that..

I find that answering these spam messages only tells them they have reached a live carbon unit ... then, Katy, bar the door !!

I downloaded it, now to figure out it works !! The url for a Users Guide returned the dreaded 404 !!

Do you have a better link ??

Thanks

Glide claimed in July of 2013 that they stopped spamming people but they are still doing it. Here is an article at Tech livewire that goes into detail and also mentions an android and iOS text blocker apps that can block Glide.
