spam on your cellphone?

"Spammers Have Your Number" By Roger O. Crockett

Everyone gets spam on their computer, but what most people don't know is that spam is making its way over to your CELL PHONES!!!Wireless users in the U.S. will receive about 1.1 million spam text messages this year! The chances of you getting it on your cell phone is slim up to the 250 million Americans who use wireless services. Not only will it annoy you but it will also cost you sometimes as much as 20 cents each message. Spammers use automatic dialers that can shoot millions of texts to random cell phone numbers. Phone companies intercept many of them but not all of them. I don't know about you but I sure don't want spam coming to my cell phone. So is there a way to stop it? Well phone companies are trying but I dont think theres a way to stop all of it.

When I first heard about this new kind of spam I was shocked I mean you don't expect to get spam and viruses on a phone much less our cellphones. I mean what are they going to think of next. Spams taking over everything before you know it television and cars are going to have viruses. Is there anything safe in this world?
