I believe that the FCC believes that SMS to SMS spam falls under the TCPA - in other words, their jurisdiction to. http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/tcpa.html You can file a complaint with the FCC at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html#general SPAM to Wireless Phone is opt-in by law. In other words, unless you have opted-in, it is illegal. There is no exception for carriers; they do not get to spam their subscribers.

The address mentioned is totally bogus. The actually correct answer for their address is Cingular Wireless Glenridge Highlands Two 5565 Glenridge Connector Atlanta, GA 30342 which can also be found at http://www.cingular.com/about/company_overview The CEO's name is Stephen Carter, which is probably the best way to get the letter filed into the presidential escalation chain. Be polite, be sincere, and candid in your complaint. Thanks, Christian ===== "We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare.. And in return, dogs give us their all.
