Spam text messages...

I would venture to say that this has NOTHING to do with the phone you have. The most obvious thing that could cause you to get "spam" texts is probably from some type of form you have filled out where you entered in your cell number and that info was then used by the business or individual collecting that info to do some advertising via text messaging. I would be willing to bet that this is what has happened to you. Always read the fine print where it talks about what the information will be used for. This could come from a contest you entered, a survey you filled out, an order form, anything really. Some businesses sell info like phone numbers and addresses to third party companies.
