I'm getting ham SMS messages from my operator offering me deals.

It says to opt out I can text 80159. When I do that this appears. Is this even legal? My contract is unlimited texts or is it just Android being overzealou

Who is your service provider?

It is not legal under PECR or GDPR. I would think about a complaint to either the ICO or OFCOM. It won't stop them sending you spam messages, but they will get a slap.

This is a good reference

Android's messaging application doesn't know the details of your contract, so I would assume it won't cost you anything.

Threaten their customer service with GDPR then if they don't unsubscribe you for free. They'll respond quickly.
