Hello,

I recently heard about SMS bombing apps such as Bombitup that can send a large number of messages to a phone number in a short time. I also noticed that some websites provide similar services where users can enter a phone number and send repeated messages automatically.

I am curious whether tools like these could create security, privacy, or spam issues for smartphone users.

Is there any way to protect a phone number from such SMS spam tools?

Thank you.
