Cell Phone Spam
My Verizon cell phone has been acting strange these past two weeks. I began getting that display which tells me that I have mail, but when I would check my voice mail there would be nothing new there. When I received a display telling me, "Memory Full New Text Rejected", I went to their store for answers. It turns out that Verizon had been sending me text messages (a service I was only vaguely aware that my phone was now capable of) offering me mew deals on phones and service and after thirty (30) of these Spams accumlated my "Memory" was filled.
The Verizon tech gave me an 800 number and I have had them block all future Verizon spam. If you are having a similar problem you can call 1-800-922-0204 and have them block it on your phone.
I was also told, by another Verizon user, that they will count the minutes taken for me to receive those text messages against my usage, and Cass says I/you can have them take it off the bill as well. I have never been over my minutes, but you can bet I will check my next bill!
The nerve of these people advertising to me at my cost on my business phone! What are they thinking?
