How to Stop Receiving Unwanted Promotional Messages via RCS ??

Lately, with the IPL season approaching, I’ve noticed a surge in RCS messages promoting fantasy gaming apps like Dream11 and My11Circle. Additionally, I’m receiving promotional messages from brands like Jio Offers and Tata Neu.

While some of these messages stopped after replying with "STOP," others continue to appear from different sender IDs. For example, despite blocking four such IDs, I still received messages from a fifth one (as shown in the attached image).

My Concerns:

  1. What solutions are available other than completely turning off RCS?
  2. I have never downloaded apps like Dream11, My11Circle, or Rummy, yet I keep receiving their messages. How did they get my phone number?
  3. I have little to no interest in cricket, so I’m unsure why I'm being targeted with these promotions.
Any suggestions on how to permanently stop these messages would be appreciated!
