I’m curious if others are experiencing this as of late.  The rat bastard spammers have now hit the text messaging world.  There’s a hitch though besides simply ignoring the messages.  Most cell phone plans still charge you by the text unless you pay for a set amount of monthly text messages.  For instance, we get charged 10 cents per text message.  I haven’t hit the point where it would be worth it to get the monthly text messaging fee but I do not like the fact that spammers are costing me money and might eventually force me to get T-Mobile’s text messaging package, even though it’s a minimal fee.

I called customer service to see if there was a way to block senders and they said there wasn’t.  The lady told me to simply ignore it like it was spam.  I argued that I don’t get charged 10 cents for every spam message that I get via email, therefore this is a different beast.  She gave me some credit for future text messaging but that will eventually run out at some point too.  I think I did make her day though because she laughed out loud when I read one of the text messages to her.

So, in case anyone wants to read what I’ve been invited to as of late (misspellings and bad punctuation included), enjoy.  They used a fake number too (91984835675), since they’re in Atlanta.

WE INVITE U TO LA RUMBA TONIGHT TO HAVE FUN AND DANCE WITH DJ MARLON AND ONE CARLOS.  LADIED FREE BEFORE 11PM.  FOR MORE INFO VISIT www.larumbadisco.com.

I’m assuming that it’s actually JUAN Carlos, not ONE Carlos.  And I’m not sure which species are LADIED, but in my world it’s customary to give LADIES free admission.

Feel free to spam them if you’d like.  Don’t try to get a RESERVATION though, they only do RECERVATIONS. They also don’t do punctuation well either.  But I’m sure they can dance like a mofo.

I’ve been fortunate to avoid telemarketers with my cell phone although I’m sure that’s just a matter of time.  The thing is I don’t list my number in most places, so either they purchased a list from someone or they just spam-bombed all T-Mobile numbers with a 678 area code.
