Cell Spam
Havent gotten one of these myself but have been hearing a lot of complaints. Cell phone spam.
Yes that beautiful thing called spam we see in our email boxes has made its way on to cell
phones. What is funny to see is people bitching about the costs involved with receiving
spam as if it's a new thing. There are people on dial-up internet connections everywhere
who pay for the amount of time they can stay connected. What happens when they get spam
email? It costs them time to download that email, which equates to costing them money.
"It's absolutely unacceptable to be involved in advertising where you pass the cost onto the consumer," said Rodney Joffe, head of the anti-spam group Whitehat. "When it comes to cell phones, it costs them nothing to send it but costs anyone with a cell phone money. The recipient ends up paying."
Spam sucks. I dont mind advertisements... when I'm getting something like watching a TV show or viewing a website that I enjoy, but unsolicited crap showing up in the inbox... that blows.
