Had my mobile phone number for around 15 years and until last year had no spam sms messages at all. Had one for Vision express last year and a few weeks ago one from Coral, which i'm chasing all the way through until I find out who supplied my details. So careful signing up for things and if I don't feel a company actually needs my number, I always give them two digits mixed up like an intentional typo. Thats on top of double checking there is no stray/hidden box's that need to be ticked to avoid them passing your details on.
Hopefully have some nice details to pass on to the ICO soon
