Just Wait

Just wait till one of these cell phone spammers is successful at sending a ton of messages to a couple million subscribers. You think the wait times for customer service are bad now. The more expensive these things get the less people will overlook a spam message.

Re: Just Wait

That would be great! And maybe that's what it will take to fix this inequality of service(s).

1 edit		 This is why I had AT&T block all SMS/MMS/Text messaging on my account. AT&T Wireless used to have free incoming messages.
Cingular/AT&T Mobility charge enough to force you to use a monthly plan. Since I have to have a phone plan, a call is cheaper, followed by a data plan with email.

@gwi.net		 That is why #1 I pay full price for a phone/ebay so I am not locked into a contract. #2 I don't ever plan to get service with a carrier that charges for incoming texts.

In my area, iWireless (a T-Mobile affiliate) and US Cellular do NOT charge for incoming SMS on any plans AFAIK. Also, many prepaids do not charge for incoming or they are much cheaper.
