I'm starting to get them a lot now. What's up w/ that ??

MMmmmmmmm.... fried spam sammich sounds good about now...

With egg.

Don't know. I haven't gotten any here yet. I do still get cold call sales on my cell though. So much for the 'Do Not Call' registry. I have actually signed up on this 3 different times. The second 2 times told me that the number I entered was already on the registry. Just another waste of time program our government has given us.

Jet see if any of this info helps with your problem.

same here too. Lots of concert ticket ads...

question for those getting text spam:

Do you text regularly?

Did either of you ever send a text to one of those "text blah-blah to some 5 digit number" to get a free ringtone, app, update on some event/service, send money to Haiti, etc...? Or entered your phone number in some website for a sweepstakes, free download, soda coupon, etc.?

If you did, it's possible that the terms of service for that download, info, etc, included them being allowed to send you advertisements or even sell your number.

No different than email opt-ins on websites really.

You both have iPhones too, heck, maybe apple sold your info. Maybe you should go all erikwgz on the apps store or something.

I use thus iPhone all the time, but never text reply to an Ad.

adroomi420 may be behind this.

RE #11

Could it be tied to some app or software that you might have downloaded? In other words, by downloading the app or software, you gave implied consent to recieve these ads.
