msg from Grumbletext - just to clarify for our visitors - previous post at 04/08/03 08:27:26 is not from Grumbletext, but ABOUT Grumbletext and the fact that the site is featuring a lot of complaints about SMS Spam which is swamping our homepage somewhat for anyone visiting and not interested in this subject.

We think the poster's point is a fair one and we have in any case been considering this issue. If our visitors have views on this subject, we would welcome any feedback, which you can give on this Grumbletext / SMS Spam page.

Meanwhile, this comment does of course testify to the success of our SOS SMS minisite - we remain very definately behind this issue and are looking to improve SOS SMS further in the coming days. Thx

rip off competition - it was lunch time at school and my friend had brought his mobile into school. there was this crisp packet next to us which had this txt to win competition on. i showed it to him and he said nice and entered for the comp. next day we were going home on the bus and he was on his phone and he got a txt. it said he had won the competition and he only had 9 hours to reply otherwise his prize of �900.00. yes thats �900.00 would become invalid. he got home and rang the the hot line up and spent �5.00 on calling them and was cut off during his phone call because he ran out of credit. he hurried down to his local post office and got �10.00 credit realising that if he completed this phone call he could have �900.00. so he didnt care about this measley �10.00. he rang up the hot line again and talked to them he was on his last part of the phone call, he knew this because it said please state youre age and address and then your prize will be delivered to you. he had just started saying his address when he got cut off due to his credit running out. pretty gutted he had wasted �15.00. and boy did his mum shout at him. actually she didnt his family dont know yet. so between you me and about 100,000 other people who have seen this DONT TELL !!!!!!!!!!!

FRom the Oftel webiste:

”Although it has not been clear in the past whether SMS text messages are actually 'telephone calls' in the sense that has been traditionally understood, the IC takes the view that SMS text messages should be regarded as telephone calls for the purposes of the Regulations - although they are not explicitly covered by the Telecommunications Data Protection Directive 97/66/EC.

Individual subscribers who do not wish to receive unsolicited SMS text messages for direct marketing purposes can therefore register with the TPS. “

msg from Grumbletext - ref last post at 24/07/03 09:24:42 - the only thing we would want to add to that is - it's 10p per minute if the number starts 0871

BUT

if it starts 09## it can cost much more - �1.50 PER MINUTE is perfectly normal and these services tend to keep you on the line a good few minutes.

So for anyone still not sure, the abbreviation 'ppm' = 'pence per minute' and can be found in almost every one of these messages (the regulator ICSTIS stipulates that this information must be included).

Msg from Grumbletext - ref �125 of CDs - hi, unfortunately you have been misinformed by whoever directed you to contact us - we are a website where members of the public report companies who send them unwanted commercial text messages. You may have come across us because you used a search engine like Google which picked us up because other people have complained about whichever company sent you the original offer.

It looks like you have received a text message similar to a number of other people on the site, and they consider it to be a scam - just type '125' in to the 'Search Grumbles' form top left and see if what comes up matches your experience.
