Re: Who is sending the spam?

It's both. Nextel just changed there Online web plans to not include 300 text messages any more.

1) people were getting charged .15 cents (me included) and couldn't understand why. I called 3 times and they credited me finally the 4th time some one told me why I was getting charged.

2) You get mainly spam from 3rd party but some from Nextel and you get charged for both. Some people are having issues get there accounts credited.

If you pay $5 for 300 text messages or $10 for 2 way text messaging well you don't get charged. Well unless you go over those 300.

get use to it

I posted this is another thread...........
In Japan we get spammed to death and we pay for it one way or another. Either in receiving or in higher monthly charges(Vodaphone is most$$$$ In Japan) they offer free incoming mail up to so many letter. BUT YOU PAY FOR IT In higher monthly and mail cost. Spam is not going to stop on cell phones. Use filters and blockers from your service. Japan users filters are on high most of the time if not all the time. Its not going to go always. get use to it. I am not trying to be mean but realistic

Re: get use to it

Tokyo,

it's not a question of being realistic you are missing 2 key points.

We are getting spammed by Nextel themselves not just other spammers.

So 1 nextel is letting us no of new things but charging us for it.

#2 is they took away 300 incoming messages (if you had web on your phone) without telling us except in super fine print. Most of the Customer Care people didn't know.

Re: get use to it

Miss the point? Hum.........Don`t think so.
Facts are world wide spam going through cell phones is growing ever year. "Letting you know?" what in the world are you talking about? They don`t have to tell you this if that's what your referring to. Facts are spamming is growing and there is nothing we can do about it. Otherwise you have lost...........

Re: get use to it

The fact that Nextel is spamming it's own customers is the bigger issue. Talking about services they are now offering and charging there customers you are missing the point!!
