A new way to get spammed


Just what we needed, getting advertisements as text messages on our cell phones.  It's one thing for the cell company to try to sell you an enhanced service plan or something like that.  It's another to try to sell you a music album.

At least they don't charge you extra to be bothered.

    You should see my recent cell bill--it is a video from AT&T, of MY OWN BILL.

    To @tmobilehelp: Why should I have to opt out? I never opted in, so why should that be the default? And, why don't you have that link in your ad-text?
