Think that's bad? Our kids have tablets with 5g data (they were basically free...)

I managed to lock them down, except they still get spam texts. There's no way to disable incoming texts, even though they're supposedly data only devices.

I have a data-only SIM in my iPhone that does not have a phone number. It can not make or receive calls, it can not send SMS messages.

I still get SMS spam on it.
