I don't get that. What does it mean? You mean you pay when you receive one??Originally posted by Tikbalang
Of course, if I do cancel my texts, I'd have to pay for each spam.

Almost every (if not all) Cell phone companies charge the receiver ot text messages as well as the sender. I know it sounds stupid, but check it with your company - it's possible they charge you for received texts.Originally posted by tharun

About the cell phones spam - I definately agree it's slowly getting out of control. I have two cell phones. An old one which is for personal usage and the second one, for work usage, which is a new one, and I'm getting SHITLOAD of ads there. It's fucking annoying because I do get important text messages, and I need to read them all - even during meetings and the like. You can imagine how irritating it is pulling your cell phone in the middle of a meeting just to see you received an ad
.
I'm free to do whatever I, whatever I choose and I'll sing the blues if I want

You have to pay for received messages, omg that SUCKS. We don't have that here, but perhaps that explains why text messaging is far more popular in Europe than the US.
Yeesh.

Instead of creating a new topic, I figured I'd just update this one.
Florida spammer faces $11bn fine
And I said: WOOHOO! Get those fuckers. Seriously. The amount is outrageous, and will never be collected in full, but this is landmark and starts putting teeth into the system.A US-based ISP has been awarded $11.2bn (£6.38bn) in a judgement against a Florida spammer who sent millions of unsolicited emails to its users.
I fully support this.
