What Jamie wrote

First, I have generally found that texting STOP really does work. I know that some worry that responding is just validating that there is a real human at this number and you will get more spam. That has not been my experience with text and STOP.

Second, I've tried to automate this many times and the trigger event never seems to work for me. I found it interesting that this automation is using a space to trigger, so essentially seeing all texts. I don't like how this intersects with the address book and such. I would rather detect a trigger word.

But even without automation it is pretty easy to send "STOP". It does work. Give it a try.
