Maybe the FCC should explain this to some of the political spam culprits using hefty fines, because while those folks claim they honor "STOP" they send every campaign with a different number and the "STOP" message doesn't matter because they're clearly all meant to be "one-and-done" spam campaigns.
Political ads/calls are exempt?! Seriously?! Shit! I didn't know that. And that explains why I get two-dozen calls per day prior to a major election. So annoying.

All the vendors we use have STOP functionality baked in as itβs the correct way to ensure we can unsubscribe folk.
Even the FCC[1] seems to agree.
