Contents

Why am I getting text messages from my own number?

The from number is specified in the part of the text message outside of the text. The carrier information like the real phone number aren’t supplied. Ie cell networks don’t deal with your actual phone number. They locate you based on your IMEI (hardware ID) So the text goes from 542382560069012 to 011688980236375.

How do I stop receiving text messages on my Android?

On an Android phone, you can disable all potential spam messages from the Messages app. Tap the three-dot icon in the upper right of the app and select Settings > Spam protection and turn on the Enable spam protection switch. Your phone will now alert you if an incoming message is suspected of being spam.
