Turn off auto-retrieval of MMS. And don't ever EVER even think about opening any text messages from unfamiliar numbers. If necessary, call all of your contacts and explain the situation, and tell them that from there on it's phone calls and voice messages only until this is over with then proceed to ignore all texts.
