I know this might not be the place to ask this question, but I keep getting spam texts on my iphone asking if i can call them. The answer is obviously no but i never respond to is because i have no idea who it is. Ive gotten one every day for the past 3 days and every time its from some different hotmail account. Once i block one account a new one texts me the next day. Is there any way to stop these stupid spam texts? Maybe my phone has been hacked? Pls, any help will be appreciated. P.S: i dont really want to download any apps to fix this.

Your phone number was probably tied to a service that was hacked, or a service that uses your phone sold your user info. Your phone, especially as it’s an iPhone has likely not been hacked.

Outside of that, I think you can put yourself in the National do not call registry depending on your country but afaik that’s about it.

    just tried the app that came out, Nintendo Today.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It's pretty neat for a certain niche. From the series that I mentioned I liked (zelda, metroid, xenoblade) it automatically shows me extra info on characters and details like artwork and neat things related to the series I like.

    @NinStar, I miss Iwata. He was a great asset to Nintendo.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    he was a great asset to gaming over all. He were a great programmer. He probably made the launch of Pokemon to even come true, thanks to his custom compression for the games to fit on a gameboy cartridge.
