Well, I wanted to have boxes on my sites that collected people's cellphone numbers. SexMoney.com collects cell numbers, so why shouldn't I?

i can see this being the next wave of spam, and god damn i am NOT looking forward to it.

If I'm not mistaken the only spammer prosecuted in Russia was a guy using his PC to send SMS.

The only spammer that went to court in South Africa was senteced to pay a fine of ......$35.00, but if you send unsolicited SMS there's very a good chance for you going to jail...

Well, you get the picture I guess ;)

sending mass SMS messages will piss off a lot of people real fast...

That will get you killed. If you think the Anti's that get pissed at email spam are mean then you ain't seen nothing yet.

Let us know how it works out for you.

its not hard to mail cell phones it depends on the region

up here in canada. you have to send to the proper carrier

i think for telus its txt.telus.com or msg.telus.com

for each carrier it has its own then of course the phone number in front. you could also fake the header where its coming from. i use to have all the list for all the cariers. i could probably code something up for all the carriers in the states/canada. i was doing something like that for a security site.

then you would just have to find which exchanges cell phones are on. i know the canadian cell exchanges.not sure if you can get a hold of the american. sounds like a cool project tho.

you should be shot just for thinking that.

Fris, see my last post. I'm very serious about that. You are playing with fire. The guys that will be on your ass about this are Anti's to the 3rd power. Don't fuck around bro.

Ah, bowing to the almighty dollar. Lovely.

[Evil1]

fuck yeah. going for probably the most creative darwin award ever.

[fris]

oh ya i would code it up for a security site. i would never sell it to anyone on here. ever. for any dollar amount.

i have never spammed. or never will.

Heh, you're backpedaling pretty fast there bub.

Ok lets get a few things straight.....the original poster has not used the word spam...only mass mailer...he has gone onto to say that he wants to collect numbers on his website. This means, I assume, that the consumer will be actively 'opting in' and consenting to receiving text messages in the future from the company that collects the numbers. Yes, he/she will have to be very explicit about the fact that:

- its adult and you'll get adult text, tones, images or video on your cell if you sign up
- as a consumer you many be charged if your carrier package means that you are billed for receiveing SMS
- The charge for sending an SMS to sign up may vary between carriers - check with your carrier

He's need to tell the consumer how often they will receive message, what all the associated charges are long term and, most importantly, comunicate how to 'opt out' at any time. He'll aslo need a method for verifying age.

Along will other bext practice direct marketing aproaches (data protection, not passing data to 3rd parties, not using viral member gets member schemes etc) by doingb these things it's entirely possible to build a fully opted in database of cell phone numbers for the purposes of marketing adult services..as long as the consumer has consented.

So, giving the poster the benefit of the doubt (that he was not going to grab a phone directory and start mass SMS spamming sequential cell phone numbers) using targeted opted in SMS that really 'gives the consumer something' is a very effctive way to market your sites, new programs, and promotions to an adult loving community on the move.

Yes it will cost you 5 to 8 cents per message but consider this.

There is so much 'noise' in email marketing that nost of us just auto delete..I don't even bother reading amazon.com email even though I consented to it and know that some of the books they recommend would proably be good for me! But using SMS marketing cuts through that noise.....very very few adult marketers are using SMS to talk to their customers....those that do it early are going to have the cell phone platform all to themselves. And response rates on SMS marketing campaigns arein the 5 to 10% range, not the sub 0.01% of email...wy so high? Because there is 'no noise'. And this high response rate justifies the expense of sending SMS. My 1 cents...its a smart move if done properly.
