Delete and Report as Junk, then block the number - after awhile you get less and less of those texts

I recently switched from AT&T to T-Mobile and with T-Mobile, I never see most of the spam texts when using SMS - they get sent to a spam folder so I can look at them at my leisure and decide how to handle them - the only problem is my car still sees them until I’ve “processed” them. I usually send the “stop” to see if I get a response about no longer on the list to get them - if I get a other from that number, I block and report as spam - over last 2 months, I’ve blocked about 130 numbers and now I’m down to 2-4 a day coming in.
T-Mobile also provided a “Scam Shield” app for regular calls which makes it easy to block/report such calls...t has a rudimentary reverse lookup option which generally shows what state the number is registered in, the provider, and whether it’s a land line or mobile phone.
