Default Massive spam to my vodafone number, but sourced as emails rather thanSMS

Hi, I have this ridiculous situation with Vodafone now where after
more than a year, they cannot work out where I am receiving spam
emails as sms in my phone. Some days I get dozens and vodafone are
charging me 10p for each one. I must have had over a 1000 quid charged
to my account on this garbage by now.

I reckon they are coming in via mobile-alert.com, somehow my number
xxxxx-xxxxxx@mobile-alert.com is in some spam list and the incoming
spam never stops, it is the usual porn, fake watches, penis extensions
etc, NOT premium SMS service content that could be stopped via normal
means.

There is no reply number in the messages and in my bill they show up
as Text Info Messages with no source number.

Anyone else had this or anyone have an idea on how to stop it without
changing my phone number which would be extrmely inconvenient ?
