SMS Advertising
It's an idle Sunday and suddenly your phone beeps at you. You read the message and you're greeted by an advert for some obscure club you have never heard about let alone opted in for their one million ads a week sent to your private cell number!

I certainly don't like these types of SMS ads and also finding out how to remove yourself is like tracking a spy. No contact details - leaving you to perhaps actually visit the club to complain, if you can find that as well.

I believe SMS advertising has it's place but where you select what you want to get, how often and most important of all - if you want to receive them.

What's your take on SMS advertising?
