frequent text messages from 3 - how to stop them?

Since joining 3 my wife & I are receiving frequent SMS messages from 3
encouraging us to go online with the phone. Sometimes we each get 3 of
the same message in a day. At first these messages seemed useful as they
informed us of features that might be useful. Now, they're just plain
annoying.

Presumably these messages are designed to increase our spend but we have
mobile phones in order to communicate with people we wish to and have
them contact us - not so that we can receive advertising from 3.

Is there a way to get 3 to stop sending them? (Or to block the phone
from receiving them???)

With Orange I just used to forward them to 7726 (the spam texts from
Orange themselves too) but that isn't an option with 3.

You can turn them off on the 3 website.

Since joining three I have done everything in my power to reduce spend. I do
not want these bunch of bandits getting any more of my money then they have
to. It's bad enough I have to pay them til the end of my 12 month contract.
One wonders why three has the highest customer churn of any mobile provider.
I should of listended to the warnings....
