FYI...

Unless there are smart spammers/hackers/harrassers out there that have
a better secret technique, it seems they can only use the Anonytext or
AutoSMS service to spam/harrass you by knowing your phone carrier and/
or phone number.

So if all else fails, your best options are to change phone carrier,
your number, or do both.

A bit less lucky for iPhone users though as you are restricted in
carriers, so can mostly change number rather than carrier.

So on the case of me having harassing text on my iphone changing the carrier does me no good?

Also, for those dealing with these harassment issues, if you never give out your actual cell # and use or give out a "proxy" or "middleman" service number like Google Voice (or others, perhaps Ring.to), that can help too. Because you can't send to Google Voice for example, at least with AutoSMS service (related to textr.us and Anonytext), because it's not available as a "carrier" to send through. They can only then call you, etc. And Google Voice has some blocking options to block senders of text and callers.
