    I forward them all to 7726. I doubt it’s doing anything but it’s cathartic. Also, ‘stop’ really just confirms they got themselves a live one. They probably then turn around and sell your number to other sms spammers.

      What I can tell you is that my mobile network operator blocks numbers that I reply to that way. I’m not sure if the sender gets a response.

      Unfortunately they keep using new numbers, so it’s like trying to empty a lake with a small bucket.
