    Default Spam text messages on your cell phone

    Does anybody else get these? I am so effing sick of them. They're not even random, they're from friends. I just received the umpteenth one from a friend of mine on the west coast. Today's gem read: Good dick is like a good pillow it puts u to sleep and doesnt mind if u slobber all over it

    Not long ago she sent me one that said something to the effect of: Friends are like buttcheeks. No matter how much shit comes between them, they always stick together. Send this to all your buttcheeks.

    I guess this is her way of saying, "Hey! I'm thinking of you!"

    That ain't spam.

    Tasteless jokes perhaps. But it ain't spam.

    This is spam:

    I use to send jokes to my sister till she got all bent out of shape about me "spamming her." I was "WTF ever, M" and haven't heard from her since unless she fucking wants something.

    You don't want to go down that road I tell ya.

    fine, perhaps my title would have been more appropriately named, "Chain text messages"

    They're impersonal and fucking annoying particularly when it's the only time I hear from her.

    I haven't gotten one of these, but I can see what you mean. This is the equivalent of emails with lame jokes that friends send out. God I hate those

    Yea, I used to get spam alot from my friends. I HATED it. I'd just not send the forwards (that's me doing my part to stop the spread of chain letters) or I'd text my friend to not even send me that bs every again!

    They suck.

    I just got one:

    You may have an STD...your ex just tested positive for an STD...just thought I'd tell you. Get tested...well, just kidding, but I saved a ton on my insurance from Geico.

    Bastards. I get charged for text messages. Who was the asswipe who approved of spamming/telemarketing calls to cell phones??

    ^^^ You get charged for RECEIVE-ING text messages?!? That's just plain silly.

    I only am charged for text messages if I send them. I have been one of those people who has fwd-ed one messages ... so I can't speak ... I am one of the gulity. Ooops... just my little way of saying.. "Hey! How are you?"

    I don't think of them as annoy-ing. If it annoys me, I just delete it. I guess there are bigger and better things to waste my energy on than spam be it email or sms..........

    Yes, I get charged to send and receive text messages. I could update my plan, but I don't text with my phone, I talk on it.

    Yeah, I get charged to send and receive as well. I think it just bugs me even more because it's the only time I hear from her.

    GCG just one of the ways you guys have it better in Australia!!

    I was so disapointed with mobile service (cost and plain old customer service) here, I did not even bother to renew both of my prepay accounts. I've kept one, but not my personal number. I did more calling on it than I received, and it was just a cost. I've got better things to pay for than that.

    I was going to say that too! I was shocked when I went to the UK and found out how shitty the best deals there were there. They also have different prices for text messages depending on if you send them within the Uk or overseas. We have it really good in Australia!

    I hate recieving sms updates from my provider - I can handle 1, but why do they have to send them so many times - Ill see the ads they have on tv and around the place anyway, grrr!

    I dont mind those stupid things friends send. Most people know me well enough not to go overboard. I dont send out too many either - only on the odd accasion to people I know will appreciate it.
    I once got spam from a real estate agent - I nipped that in the bud real quick, lol.

    Yes, I was amazed when I came to Australia and didn't get charged for recieving texts or even calls. That double charging crap in America was horrid.

    I get actual spam texts on my phone a few times a week. You know, the standard "IMPROVE YOUR PENILE GIRTH NOW!!!" type things. I simply delete them, but it IS annoying. When I went to my provider about it, their solution was that I should should just disable text messenging. WTF. I don't text all that often anyway, but it can be quite helpful at work when I can't really hear a phone call or have long enough to carry on a conversation.

    We don't get spam anymore at all since we put the cell phones on the Do Not Call Registry. It's actually against the law to send these types of text messages.



    To put your home and cell phones in the Do Not Call Registry:



    You won't see any change for at least a month. Ours trickled down to nothing except the ones directly from Verizon (which they don't charge for anyway) and the ones we signed up for.

    Can't help anyone with the annoying people/friends who send the stupid chain texts. Perhaps a really good slap on the back of the head?
