Ian Fogg: Texting spam grumbles

Yes, I agree 100% with Ian here. There is nothing worse than SMS spam - especially if you end up paying to receive it ! Just over a week or two ago, almost everyone I know with a NEXTEL account got SMS-spammed by some vendor selling wallpapers and ringtones for NEXTEL products.

I'm waiting to get my bill this month - to see if I get billed for that message. If NEXTEL can't take precautions to ensure that large-scale SMS dispatchers are identified and blocked, the're going to face some serious issues from their customers.
