What should we do if we are receiving unsolicited pornographic text messages on one's cell phone?
We live in Washington State, and this is the response to a unintentional wrong number. Suggestions?

When I was getting unsolicited phone calls, I called my service provider and had the number blocked.
This sounds like something that's probably illegal -- it could be a form of harassment that's criminal.
Keep the text messages -- don't delete them -- and then you might want to file a report with the police.
It may be a hassle to go to the police, but it would be good for this person to face some legal consequences. That might make him/her wary of harassing someone else in the future. Or it might just establish a history of harassment that will be helpful in punishing him/her for some future crime.
also heard you can write back "stop" and it blocks them but i dont know where i read that
do not call list won't work in this scenario... it's a list which prevents unsolicited sales calls from businesses only. sjg has the right idea, just get your cell provider to block that number. piece of cake.
