Where Is The "Do Not Text" List?
Submitted by LynnH on January 25, 2008 - 11:30am.
Do Not Text At 4:23 a.m this morning, I received a text message on my cell phone (Sanyo from Qwest) from Ralph @ intelnet . net . gt Subject: Williams Ticker Tape PNHL - Buy Now!
First off, I was sleeping at 4:23 am. Secondly, I pay for each text message I send/receive. This is bull. Since when can they advertise through text messages. Is there such a thing as a "Do Not Text" list? I'd really like to let this person/company know how I feel about their interference. National Do Not Text List

Lynn you can file a complaint with the FCC. It is illegal to advertise to cell phones. I had a co pulling that crap several times a week. Within one week of filing the compliant, they disappeared. Go here: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints_tcpa.html

Do Not Text Just caught this. Thank you so much Jewels! My hubby gets them on his business cell phone ALL the time and it's annoying! I'm going to do it. I think they should pay a fine to the people they texted, that would stop them. If I was standing on a fish, I'd slip and fall......

Lynn, I'm pretty sure you need to contact your provider to get those to stop, I accidentally found a "opt in, opt out" of text msg marketing checkbox on my tmobile acct (online) a month or so back. I came across it by PURE accident and when I went looking for it again it was quite difficult to find. BUT it did make the texting go away. So, I'd call your provider and ask them how to stop them or search around your online acct. GuG-Points: 1206 Last Seen: 07/14/2008 - 7:28am I am: On vacation! Re: Where Is The "Do Not Text" List?

Good idea, should have already thought of that, but alas, no. Was too upset about even getting the text message advertisement to begin with. I'll do that, but I'd still like to let 'em have it! I'll figure that one out soon enough.
