    I just got some SMS SPam

    for a local dating site, anyone ever spammed by SMS? Must be good to get local traffic, it's annoying, but it did get me to go to the site, are there laws against this, it was pretty annoying since I pay for every incoming sms

                  All depends what country you are in, and what country the gateway software that sent it was in.

                        Generally if you pay for incoming messages, it isn't legal.

                        Across Europe SMS spam is pretty commonplace, and you can actually sign up for a bulk SMS account from the phone companies.

                        But in Europe it's sender pays... so it doesn't cost you anything.

                        (I used to work with phone companies)

                                    I received an sms spam couple of weeks ago, but the dumb ass didn't hide the list of Fido customers he sent to.
                                    I now have a nice list, and bonus! I can send from Fido's own website for free.

                                      I've never got SMS spam, hopefully it won't happen over here for a while.

                                      I can't believe it's costing you to get spammed.
