I am getting tons of SMS and bogus calls from advertises in both my cell phones, one has BSNL and other Reliance SIM’s. Some are spam like ‘Your cell phone number won xxxxxxxx rupees in a draw’. The calls are pre-recorded by the advertisers. I have reported this to BSNL, sent ‘DON’T DISTURB’ sms as per rules, three times in 9 months, but they still keep coming. I HATE THISDo you receive such SMS and advertisement calls too? Do you communicate via SMS or only voice talk? ‘HAPPY VIJAYA DASMI and DASHARA to all mylot members and friends!!! Professor

But to know who is calling, you have to rush to the phone, that is really annoying.. Thanks for response. Cheers. Professor. .

oh,i hate this types of sms. i just wonder why they keep on sending such when we don't have subscribe to something or joined anything to have those texts messages. i really hate it when i received one. it's like spamming in a way. they are saying that you have won such amount and you have to call this number to claim your prize. what the ? if you really won something,it is really needed that THEY are the ones who should make the call.and not you, the so-called-winner-turned-to-be-scammed. when i first received such,i kinda feel excited and at the same time scared.for it might be a scam,but then,i just passed by and ignored the message.since i haven't joined anything like that.and most of such cases i've heard in the local news that some are really calling them but then they are being scammed,like what i have in mind. and that should be our lesson.we should not believe such,cause it might turn out bad...

I am so glad that I stay in a country that does not have sms spam. I think it's horrible to be troubled by useless things all the time. I think maybe you should talk to your service provider to sort this out. I have a friend who caused a scene in a shop once... he was being charged for these spam messages that he didn't even sign up for. Needless to say, he now has a great cellphone plan.

hi professor I was getting so many spam calls on my landline phone and I am partly c rippled so would have to limp across the room to get the phone only to have a telemarketer trying to sell me something I did not want nor need. so I signed up for the universal do not call place and gave my name, address and phone number and its cut all the spam calls. I still get some garbage on my email but even think I have it set up so a lot goes rig ht into a file called trash. and I delete the trash ever so often. so am now sitting pretty good regarding unwanted spam. I am getting a lot of political calls but o ther than that I am okay. thank Goodness for that.

There's a lot of that here in the Philippines. Some do it to get money, cellular load and the most tragic is some are getting raped or kidnapped by those who makes such SMS. All i can say is, DON'T BE FOOLED!
