kudos:12 | Way to prevent spam? I think this might be a way to control spam and make a little extra cash. Right now there is only an ON/OFF for SMS messages. You can control messages sent via the internet, but not via an SMS gateway.

I hate to say it but I hope other carriers pick up on this nonsense as well. I am tired of recieving some of the bullshit for pump-n-dump stocks as well as the pr0n pics I don't need.
I am maybe centimeters away from getting me a new number.

kudos:5 | Is this getting through to you via some email gateway? Or are the spammers using SMS? (I never get any of this.) |

I'm not sure about David, but I get tons of spam on my running phone (I keep it with me when I run in the AM, I never use it.) and none on my primary phone. I have a pretty easy to guess number on my running phone and I think it may have been someone else's number before I got it, because I do sometimes get voice mails for random people.

I am not sure exactly how they are getting through. I ordered the number change as of today cause frankly I am tired of it. If they still get through only thing I can hope is they charge the people that are sending this non-sense. |
