Spam texts like that basically destroyed my phone number that I've had for 15 years :(

"You package (#US853121) containing the following products: 1. iPhone 13. Cannot be delivered until outstanding duties have been paid. Current outstanding balance: $1.68. More info <sketchiest website ever>"

I get about 20 of these a day. I've lodged multiple complaints. Like, why can't AT&T solve this problem that AOL solved in 1994?

I suspect you just have to pay for it and allow them to read and retain and aggregate your messages and use them for advertising.
