More text and voice spam are invading handsets. Wireless users in the U.S. will receive about 1.1 million spam text messages this year, up 38% from 2006, estimates messaging specialist Ferris research. Unwanted text messages isn't the only problem phone users face. "The more provocative problem with mobile phones is the stuff beyond text messages and e-mail," says Paul Catalano, a partner at Tech Consultancy Relevant Business Group. It will make our life more convenient if people will stop sending spam.

I don't have a cell phone, but my mom get lots of spam. She doesn't even like texting. A lot of my friends get spam and they text 24/7. They don't stop texting to save their lives.

I get spam text messages all the time. Most of the time they are in the form of a forward text message. It gets annoying after you have received so many.
