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.

No a spam porn website took over my carriers number

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

OP it literally tells you exactly what you need to do lmao, call UScellular and speak with a phone representative.

Ofc besides the fact that every usc employee I talk to is A. Mentally unstable or B. Just so fucking stupid 🥲

Your best bet at that point is to ask to speak with the fraud department.

Been there done that also mentally unstable one of the people there left there mic on as they told a different employee that “He was a bad boyfriend you deserve better” and so yk

Yeah at that point they are not the problem here. You clearly need to relax a bit and try calling them again because every call they make is recorded so I highly doubt that they are being so careless that you would hear something like that. Also the fact that both solutions you have been provided with, you instantly come up with reasons why you can't do it so that also speaks volumes as well here. Also the fact you keep mentioning "Mentally Unstable" I highly doubt every person you have spoken with hasn't been able to at least try to help, you seem like someone who didn't like what they had to say so you're making your own narrative, which I will tell you ASAP will not help you.

I was nice and just said I’ll call back at a different time and called back later and they said that they canceled that carrier number

Edit I’m just asking if there’s a way to get rid of the spam texts

Report such texts as Junk, or Piles Of Shit if you have that option.
