Okay who gets their number bombarded with those premium text messages? Don't you hate it?!

"Mom just because your my friend on face book doesn't mean you can write iloveyou all over my wall." Yeah people can see that.

I have users that complain about this. Verizon can place a block on premium text messages free of charge.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
When you take things for granted, the things you are granted, get taken.

SMS spam is illegal in the US. See the link in my sig for how to report it.
And Verizon can block it, as jsconyers said.

Moving to Rants and Raves.

I've never gotten any text spam but then again I don't sign up for free ringtones and stuff. I hear that's the surest way to get spammed.

yeah i got the block and I downloaded the call blocker, there are wives on the military base who try and do crappy things to people they hate. and lets say im one of those people... in the past 24 hours I got all the charges reversed and had them blocked.
