Is this a new number for you? It's possible an escort was the former owner.

Are these text messages? Your options are to ignore the messages, block messages from these numbers, or to change your phone number?

What type of operating system are you using on your phone?

@PAP When you activated your sim did you pick a new number? If yes, then that's why. You can change numbers via selfserve once every 30 days.

These messages are not texts via my phone they are messages when I log into my Public Mobile account on my iPad or iPhone. The top right corner of this web page has a bell and an envelope. If I click that envelope I the messages are there.

It was several weeks ago when a rash of those appeared. Many people were upset. I don't know why. There was nothing objectionable. Just an invite. But spam is spam. The company did something. I guess you haven't been here in that while.

I'm not real savvy as far as all this online help goes I'm kinda new to this process and just noticed the message. I hate that people use any online site to hit on people. I've had to leave sites because it's annoying to me.
