Unsolicited or SPAM Text Messages

Posted October 30th, 2009 by Mike Scott

Unwanted messages! Is there anything more annoying? There is nothing worse than getting a text message from some company you have never heard of trying to sell you their latest product or service that you never wanted. It's even worse when someone sending you text messages phishing for your personal information. Perhaps the hardest part is for those who do not have unlimited plans knowing these burdensome texts are taking away from our text message pool or costing us 20 of our hard earned cents.

 

Take heart, however, there are ways to try and prevent these unwanted text messages. UCAN has created a new consumer resource detailing steps you can take with wireless providers to prevent these unsolicited texts. We also give a little guidance on the best way to complain about them.

 

Check out UCAN's new guide here.
