I don't have a clue how to stop those from showing up in message section of my phone. Any suggestions?
Take or call the cell phone to the company that gives you service. Explain what's happening and see what they suggest. When you say message section of your phone, do you mean text messages? If so, type in STOP sometimes that works. I have resorted to using the icon that looks like a stop sign and that works better than the word STOP. Also, there is a way to block the number that was used to call you. The caller may have ten phones with different numbers, but after awhile, they seem to go away if you block them. Good luck.
