That is something that I would be interested in. If you want a real SMS winner, figure out a way to go viral, and get people to text each other, for you, and do something like the "ihateyoujulia" thing, except with sms instead of email. On top of that, what could you possibly promote this way that would not have just about any network out there pull your card for using this form of promotion? Sure, sending a few hundred messages might stay under the radar, but what the hell could you promote a few hundred messages at a time that would be worth the trouble? If they get a really friendly judge, they might go for punitive damages on top of that. Probably more, because if enough people get pissed, they will scream at their carrier, and their carrier will reverse the charges, and then go after the spammer for a) the lost revenue, b) the overhead to to administrate the reversal of charges, and c) the legal fees for recovering their damages. If someone spams 30K numbers on that network, a judge is not going to have too much trouble deciding that it is OK to determine that said campaign did $6K in damages. Spamming people with SMS is a bad idea, and in any country where most mobile users actually pay to get a text message, it opens up the sender to massive legal troubles.įor instance, in the US, 4t&t charges something like $.20 per text, if you don't have a plan, or if you go over your plan.
