I don't send texts and I don't want to receive texts, so I told my cell company to "disconnect" the ability for texts to be received on my two cell phones. (I use them to talk, not to text).
I connect to the internet on both my computers using an "Air Card" which is nothing more than a cell phone with a telephone number, for computers. I noticed that I was receiving text messages in the air card home page. Told the cell company (air card company) and they fixed it so I would no longer receive them.

Cellphone technology is way behind the rest of the net.
Sounds like war dialing, they just attempt #s in sequence. Easy when an exchange is partially or mostly cellphones. Cell phone companies could anti-spam this with software, seeing the same text go to 1000s of phones, but they make money on each text...
