I have a cell phone with no camera or any of that fancy stuff that I just keep in my purse for emergencies, or to call the significant other (our phones are linked). Every single time I pick it up it has three or four messages from spammers. If they charge me ONE FREAKING CENT for spam I will smash the cell phone with a hammer and never get another one. That is ridiculous.

Wouldn't go as far as saying Telus will create spam but at 0.15 can't seeing them discouraging it.

Ha - at least half the spam I receive is from Telus trying to sell me more products or services.

My next phone will be an unlocked phone of some kind, and I will go with whatever provider offers the best deal, with no contract.

The text message charge is only for people that have no text package. They have always charged for outgoing texts but never incoming......so if you have a unlimited text package or whatever....your not charged .....I have never received a text spam from anyone....

The only spam text messages I get are from Telus and Rogers.
