Being bombarded with texts from 3?

For the past few days I've been getting 8 or 9 texts a day, claiming to be from 3 (sender is listed as "3G supp" or "02/3G supp"), and they all say:

PLEASE CALL NOW REGARDING -ADDITIONAL HANDSET. 08702 259 259. CALL NOW.

What's going to happen if I call that number? Is it...
  • 3 trying to extend my contract?
  • Another network spamming me / trying to poach me?
  • General spam?

More importantly, is there a way you can block texts from a certain number - not that it would be much use, because there's no number to reply to on these messages :mad:
