    Last night I started getting about one text message a minute from
    some IM gateway at AOL, mostly from someone named Awesomedude322.
    I suspect spim. I called Sprint, and they put some kind of block
    in place, and the messages stopped, but they started up again
    tonight. I've had to turn the phone off at this point. Anyone
    got any other suggestions? I'd settle for turning text messaging
    completely off, if there's a way to do that selectively.

    And then you need to remember to log off AIM when you're not using it.

    Just as a guess I would think spim is spam + IM. When I got text
    messaging I immediately starrted getting spim from someone I did not
    know. Went into my site on Sprint.com and blocked it selectively.
    Since then I've been lucky and only gotten one or two...
