Realistically, it most likely signs you up for a deluge of spam texts about donations and the like to trump

I get that shit already, and I've never texted any of these 5 digit numbers lol. They seem to come in waves (like I'll go months without getting any, then get them nearly daily for a few weeks, then quiet again), I've blocked so many numbers...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I already get those without having dialed anything

Since they have to pay for all those texts, would signing up for that line and then blocking it cause them to lose money?

Your number will almost certainly be given to a variety of republican campaigns and see spam from many different numbers. Good luck blocking all of them

It would be satisfying to see them waste money on me. More satisfying than all the Democrats who beg me for money, anyway

they are so obnoxious, my grandfather's phone is filled to the brim with them, I have never seen a campaign send as many fucking spam texts as his campaign does it is ridiculous, my grandfather is hard blue and they are just relentless with the "Trump demands your support now!" and "DONATE TO THE CAUSE, DON'T LET THE LEFTIST HARRIS RUIN DEMOCRACY" it's so fucking annoying, you can't even opt out as they just blatantly ignore it. He gets more red based texts then blue lmao

Todd who previously had my phone number signed up for a lot of texts, and got his (now my) number into a ton of databases. I've been able to watch his cross country move and general financial improvement through these spam texts. At first it was a house in Phoenix Arizona, and some sketchy stuff related to his arrest, but looks like he moved back to the same state I live in and has a cheaper place that isn't seeing as insane of price inflation. I've also seen fewer debt related texts for him and lately I've been getting some with his new lady friend's name on them. Good for Todd. Hopefully he eventually learns to stop giving out my number
