I'm one of the remaining holdouts I guess in that I do not subscribe to text messaging. Unfortunately being a t-mobile customer I get it anyway and also the joy of calling a CSR every month to get 15 cent to $1.50 credits on my bill for incoming spam. They claim they can't disable it or give me credit, but I always get the bill reduced (including tax) after I waste enough time elevating the situation to a manager (average about 10-15 minutes calling 611). You have to be really persistent and even hang up and get a different CSR. They are raking in the money from spam and they know it. Most people don't have the time or desire to fight for such amounts. I will be leaving t-mobile for good as soon a the contract expires, which isn't soon enough. |

| I rarely do get spam texts from T-Mobile...once in a blue moon. And when I do, I just call customer service and they're usually nice enough to give me some freebies in order to compensate for the spam. They can't give credit but freebies aren't too shabby at all.
SMS isn't worth the extra $100+ it adds to the bill every year.

San Diego, CA | I get SMS spam maybe once every two months. Makes me no nevermind, because I have unlimited texting. |

Orange, CA | Here's one I got on T-Mobil. We couldn't figure out how they planned to make money off of this.

| This looks like a typical "pump and dump" stock scam. DCNM is a stock symbol—see google finance, but whatever you do don't buy it. Essentially, the spammer is hoping that people will buy a bunch of this stock so he can cash in at inflated prices, essentially taking your money in the process. Wikipedia has a nice article about Microcap stock fraud that explains what he's trying to do.
