I rarely use my cell phone except for emergencies and usually don't even have it turned on. So imagine my surprise today at receiving about 5 unsolicited spammer texts to it in rapid succession.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen?

The texting is also strange. It looks like a string of 'cat-on-the-keyboard' gibberish in the title. I didn't look at the number and just nervously deleted them.

I'm pretty sure you get charged for anyone texting you.

Figured if anyone else had this they may have found a solution or who was doing it.

Oh it's just us more myopic folks with large fingertips who forgot to type in the correct cell phone number and sent text messages in error. My bad!

That's weird. Half-way across the world, the same crap is happening to me. Along with all kinds of other SpamMS..

Ugh! I HATE getting spam text messages!

Unsolicited phone calls, text messages, emails... I hate them! Hell, don't even approach me in public if I don't know you. If I need sales assistance, I will find you.

Maybe I'm just anti-social. Maybe I'm just sick of being overloaded with unsolicited messages and information.

In Hong Kong there is a number you can call to make sure your mobile number is not on any advertisers lists, but I still get the odd one or two a week.

Over here you don't pay to receive a txt, but that's here. And they're always in Chinese so I can't read them anyway... Delete.

No biggie, unless you have some crazed dyslexic stalker!!
