Stupid phone spam!

[Aurora]

The only spam I ever got was from my phone provider. I think that got stopped though because the way that they were doing it was illegal.

What did they send you messages so they could charge you? Wow, that would be wrong. LOL

About three months ago I got my first text message spam (24 of them actually, right in a row). I called Verizon Wireless right up and cancelled text messaging service on my phone. Email is bad enough, I'm not playing that game again.

I hate text messaging anyway. It's a phone, so friggin' call me with it!

AM I the only person left in the verse who does not have a cell phone?

I was the second-to-last. I got the cheapest, stupidest phone I could get. All those "get your Razr! Ooooh... it's a chocolate bar!" advertisements.... I just don't get. It's a phone. I want to receive calls. I want it small enough to fit in my pocket with my keys. And a contacts list is nice. That's all I want! Stop with the garbage features already! And definitely stop trying to turn it into jewelry.

I don't want text messaging. If I ever had the urge to pay to vote for american idol ... Maybe a nice additional feature would be a razor blade so I could slit my own wrists afterwards.

I don't want crappy cell phone games.

I don't want to take pictures with a crappy camera and send those pictures to my friends.

I don't want to play ringtones. Dear god, can I make them not play ringtones?

I don't want voice activated calls.

I don't want bluetooth technology.

I don't want to receive email on my phone.

I don't want to surf the web on my phone.

I don't even want voice mail.

What I can't figure out is how I can be such a Luddite and a computer scientist at the same time. Surely these features must be great because everybody's got them, right?

No. You are not.

Neither me nor my wife own one. We didn't even bother with an answering machine until just last year.

Nah. All they send was basically advertisments for their products and services. It didn't cost the receiver anything. It was still ruled to be illegal though.

Does it count if my work gave me one? I hardly use it, I just carry it around to look important.

With the amount of people that own a phone these days, if you're carrying it just to look important I think you might want to try something else!
