Spam from Nokia

I've had a movable for simply over 10 years currently. I bought it before I touched to the UK; I reckoned it might be handy to own a mobile whereas making an attempt to search out employment and somewhere to measure. The phone may be a Nokia 225. an exquisite piece of technology, though I seldom use it. whenever the sim card expires (which appears to happen once the phone hasn't been used for a year or so) I get a replacement card and £10 credit. you'll deduce from that that i am not nevertheless prepared for AN iBad or alternative 'smart' phones.

 The reason for mentioning all this is often that solely recently I got introduced to spam texts. It happened once shopping for a Vodafone sim card. My word… they are doing get a kick out of spamming those who get their merchandise. It started with weekly messages regarding topping up before the beginning of the weekend however I currently get spam nearly daily regarding all forms of 'special offers'. It appears Vodafone thinks it necessary to additionally send spam on behalf of third parties.

 Anyway, nowadays i made a decision to reply STOP SMS to 9774, as educated within the latest spam message. I instantly got a message back to mention that my promoting preferences are modified among twenty eight days. My promoting preferences? 28 days

to prevent causation American state spam?

 I ought to in all probability raise them why they created assumptions regarding my 'marketing preferences' within the 1st place (they ne'er asked whether or not or not i need Vodafone spam) and why it takes them twenty eight days simply to prevent causation American state uninvited messages (perhaps it's indicative of however technologically advanced Vodafone's is?). I will not hassle though; they might simply claim that I opted in which the law permits them up to twenty-eight days to accommodates my opt-out request. they are hard-core promoting those who extremely believe they are doing country a favour by causation them spam. So,

 i am going to turn off my phone for twenty eight days, hope for the simplest, and ne'er modify Nokia once more.
