I guess otherwiuse, cancell your number and get a new one - and always find out first how the unsubscribe works before subscribing.

The TV ads should include details of how to unsubscribe, plus they should be sending you unsubscribe instructions at least every 10th message. If you cannot locate the subscriber, try sending the word STOP to the number you subscribed through. Failing that, contact the Australian Telecommunications Authority and they should eb able to track the provider through the number the jokes are being send from (even though it is a virtual number it is still assigned to someone) You would need to contact the provider.
