Just got SMSpammed by Verizon Wireless
Anyone else just get SMSpammed by Verizon Wireless. I received the following from them.
From: 26404
Free Msg: Join In on "The Apprentice" voting. Who'll be hired 2nite? Go 2 www.vzw.com/Apprentice 4 details & chance 2 meet Trump in NYC. 2 stop msgs reply w/"Q"
Perhaps by sharing this I'm helping VZW, but I'll take the chance. When I first received the message I remarked that I'll be VZW catches hell for this. Shortly there after I called and tied up customer service for 16 minutes before I was finally transferred and disconnected. I asked that I not receive any further advertisements from VZW, the response was that I could stop receiving all messages or that I could set up a filter to block anything further. Obviously neither was what I was after.
Maybe I'm odd, what does everyone else think? Do you want to receive advertisements via SMS from your carrier? I know I wasn't charged anything, but neither was I given the option to not receive the advert or charge VZW for the time I spent with this interruption.
