stop sprint from sending text notifications

[AC Question]

I just switched to sprint and I seem to be getting bombarded on my galaxy s7 with updates that are completely meaningless from sprint. For example they texted me to tell me they allow location data, I got one saying congrats on setting up online account, one because I updated my email address one for this one for that, and I get emails from them like 3-4 times a day.

The emails I don't mind because they are easier to ignore but I cannot find out how to update some preference to ask sprint to stop texting me.

Hi, have you tried speaking to them about this?

Or go online into your account and change the settings.

Most likely those messages are free and do not count against any allowances you may or may not have. I'm NOT sure if this will work, BUT I did find some instructions at the Sprint site for unsubscribing from premium text messages, that MIGHT also work to stop these free messages. It couldn't hurt to try the words...
