You're getting spam texts? Or someone has taken over your number?

Spam texts you can just ignore. Getting a new number isn't guaranteed to reduce the spam, but it's an option.

If your number was taken over, that's a bigger problem. Any other account that's attached to that phone number can be compromised. If that's possible, you're at a point where you need to notify the credit bureaus, your bank, etc.

You need to call your phone provider, not post on the internet.
