OK ... never ranted here before, so here it goes !!!
My wife has been getting random telemarketerlike text messages on her cell phone lately. We have unlimited in plan and like 50 out of network.
So, I tried to call my provider to block or report these calls. There is nothing they can do about it. So, basically ..... these wireless providers are reaping a profit for telemarketers randomly texting phone numbers.
Now I put some thought into this. Computer programs can generate and send these text messages, and use incorrect call back numbers. That renders them virtually untraceable.
So, my options are ... pay for unlimited text messages. Stop the service (that she likes) .. or pay the fee for any overages we have. With no recourse.
I am quite angry, and have tempered my language and judgement in hopes that I am not the only one that has experienced this and there MAY be some other solution that my rage has prevented me from seeing.
Thanks for your patience.
