We think the poster's point is a fair one and we have in any case been considering this issue. If our visitors have views on this subject, we would welcome any feedback, which you can give on this Grumbletext / SMS Spam page. Meanwhile, this comment does of course testify to the success of our SOS SMS minisite - we remain very definately behind this issue and are looking to improve SOS SMS further in the coming days.

So for anyone still not sure, the abbreviation 'ppm' = 'pence per minute' and can be found in almost every one of these messages (the regulator ICSTIS stipulates that this information must be included). visitor   9:24 24/07/03 Posts: 16777215   sms etc - Hey everybody, if you try to call back to all t     sms etc - Hey everybody, if you try to call back to all these SMS prize things you are paying them 10p per minute for each minute you are waiting, if lots of people do it they are getting alot of money from you all regards Mike visitor   18:18 23/07/03 Posts: 16777215   +449066364311 YOU ARE CHOSEN TO RECEIVE A �350 AWARD!
