How do I stop an unwanted text message?

I get these about every two weeks, usually advertising shoes.

Always ends with "STOP or 877-661-6151 to Opt-Out. Mst&Data rates may apply."

Add your cell number to the national do not call list.
Report the SPAM message on the DNC site.
Call your provider and bitch about it. If you do not have a text message plan, you are paying for these.
