 What about the telemarketers???

About the same time I started getting NEXTEL'S spam messages, I have had stupid teleparketers calling me. A few of my buddies have had the same thing happen a couple of times. It just comes on the caller ID as "line 1" and half of the time nobody even answers. Are any of you other NEXTEL users getting the same crap?

When I talked with Nextel the other day, the rep told me as long as I don't read the text messages and just delete them I won't be billed for them.

Re: What about the telemarketers???

The telemarketing rep isn't here, so I'll try and fill in.

Telemarketing SMS messages are valuable to the consumer, making you aware of products and services you might not have known about.

It's only a small minority of whiners who complain about such messages. They are losers who should seek treatment for their obsession.

If you don't allow telemarketing SMS messages, the entire US economy will collapse and people will be out of work.

Telemarketing SMS messages are covered by constitutional free-speech guarantees.

I hope you're convinced. No? guess I'd better not quit my day job.

**cough** B.S. **cough**

Your right to free speech ends at my front door, or phone, or whatever. I almost believed you until you invoke constitutional guarantees to annoy me.

Anyway, what I did was cancel my voice mail, paging and whateve else my phone had on it that would allow it to talk to someone when I didn't want to. Figure if I don't answer the phone I'm busy and you can call me back.
