Since 2005, the law has prohibited commercial e-mail and text messages to be sent to cell phones without express prior authorization. But there are loopholes that allow charities and political campaigns to shoot you all the messages they want on your dime.
Consumer Reports offers these ideas for minimizing the chances of unwelcome text messages:
• Call your carrier as soon as you receive a spam message. You might have more luck getting a handful of charges waived than waiting until several dozen have accumulated.
• Block cell spam by going to your cell account online and access your e-mail and messaging preferences. Activate the setting that blocks messages over the Internet.
• Use the National Do Not Call Registry (http://www.donotcall.gov) to register your cell number to block telemarketers.
• Resist free or inexpensive ringtones and games from third-party vendors that can put you at risk of receiving spam messages.
