SPAM from VM
For the past several months I've been receiving 15 to 30 SPAM text messages from VM. I've called them (they say "tough" it's their "right" to SPAM me). I've emailed them -- they write I can "turn it off" (but I can't), and they continue.

The first text message came in the middle of the night the day after my mother died. I was finally asleep and my phone starts beeping and won't quit. Finally got up and threw the dang phone out the back door.
Today they called me on my home phone!
After the second text message I received, I spent a couple of hours emailing and calling and being on hold trying to figure out how to get them to stop. They lied to me: one said there was nothing they could do, the other said there was an option on the website.
