Spam Text Messaging???URRRRRRG
 

So now we are subjected to spam via text messaging? Just great! Isn't there anything private any more. Got my first 10 today. THANKS VERIZON!

10? Today?! I think I have maybe got that many the whole time I have had a cell which is like 12 years or something...

I know, I didn't seem them until now when I realized I had text messages which I rarely use. Oh man, I should have waited to delete them and posted them here. One was obviously some sex thing just by the url they sent with it.


Oh

I guess our governments Op-out system isn't working to well eh?

10 in one day seems extreme.
I think I've maybe had 5 total, and those where from offers I signed up for.

ps.. I've never called that "opt-out" number for any of our phones... I personally think that's a bunch of BS, but that's just me..:p

Vodafone does this crap as well...
I only keep it cuz i've got domains rented with them...

same..

get a sms spam/commercial once a year or so, and then again its only
from my tele provider saying they got a better offor or something.
no "external" spam :):up:

quite happy about it

I don't think I have gotten any. Unless you count those useless chain messages. :D

I haven't gotten anymore today, so maybe my turn is over with? I dunno

I want to hire one of those services, at the moment seem to be to expensive

Is your cellphone number on the National Do Not Call list?

https://www.donotcall.gov/

If it is and has been more than 31 days then you can lodge a complaint, even if its your own cellphone company sending the messages. I have had all my phone numbers, even my skype-in number, on the list for years. I never receive telemarketing calls and have never received an unsolicited text message. During elections I receive sequential dialing messages from political campaigns but they are often considered charitable organizations and exempt from the do not call list.
