Technology QotW: Cell Phone Spam

Comments

I get 2-4 spam messages a week on my cellphone, and I have never downloaded anything on my cellphone, or signed up for any such nonsense. I've never even sent a text message. I started receiving the spam from the first week I got my cellphone. It is expensive and annoying and there is nothing I can do about it except wait for my contract to expire so I can change providers.
Oh my gosh! That sucks! What's strange is - like you said - it happened as soon as you got your new one. Have you asked to have your number changed with your provider? If you never send text messages - why doesn't your provider just turn off that feature?
I bet the person before you with that number gave it out. I just got a new number since I moved, and I had to call a few debt collection agencies and tell them that whoever they are after changed their number. Luckily, I've only gotten one junk text.
Ugh, that would frustrate me so much - I'd have no patience with debt collectors.
At first, I thought that all cellphone users got spam, so I didn't do anything about it. By the time I wanted to do something about it, I was planning to move and I didn't want to change my number. Now the plan expires in September, and I plan to use a different cellphone provider entirely.
