4. I got loads from my 'phone company whilst in Italy |
|
All telling me what was the cheapest way of using my mobile abroad - all costing me money to receive :banghead:
There's a very good reason not to fill-in the little box which asks for one's mobile number.....
Is there anything that I can do to cheer you up? :hug: :pals:

6. Do you pay to receive texts? |
|
It was only because I was out of my normal (U.K.) network that I paid.
If so it's majorly crappy - let me make you a small sea-food medley to improve your mood.

7. I think I pay ten cents for each text message! |
|
:( I know that's not a lot, but paying ANYTHING to be spammed really sux.

Call and do a followup letter. CC your state and federal representatives. Anyone who gets spam and hates it should do that.
Edit: Also let them know at circuit City. Send them this URL

while there is no harm in putting yourself on the no call list, there is no master list of numbers being created to sell to telemarketers. there simply isn't. The only list being created will be avaliable only through dialing 411, and you have to ask to be listed.
