Do you reply on persistent texters who are looking for textmates?

Annoying,right? Especially when their mobile number is not on your phonebook. Many are just looking for textmates where they would just type different numbers...but what if you replied already that you are not interested but keep on texting and even giving you some miss calls already? Is there a way to let them stop? What do you think?

Its annoying, I think the best option over here is just ignore them, they ll stop texting if you dont reply for a week or so. As you can see they are looking for textmate, if you reply it means, there is some potential of being textmate, but if you dont reply and ignore then it clears that texting you is just waste of time. BTW if any of your friend wants to annoy you then there is no cure for him...:)

I have experienced that many times. Just recently, someone with a new number is texting me about being a textmate, but I did not reply to it and just deleted the message. I do not care. Then, another new number is calling me up, but I ignore it. If that person with new number seems to know me, and the call is important, I thought he/she would give me a message and say who he/she is and requesting me to receive the call. However, that person owning the new number never sent a message, so I did not receive the call even when he/she is persistent.

Yeah, it's annoying. Now I don't care of textmate, I am tired of texting people not so important messages like greeting them, I may be bad but I am over textmate. I've had that experience I am constantly replying who they are but after they said that I stop replying. I receive calls too and told them I am not interested, after a week they stop bugging me. I guess if this people don't stop bugging you, you really have to let them know that they have to stop it.
