Goodbye to Cell Spam!

David Pogue posted a very useful blog entry about how you can block spam sent to your cell phone – also known as “m-spam.” He says that AT&T and Verizon Wireless subscribers can block text messages from the Internet, where most m-spam originates (via text messages sent from a computer’s email program), yet still receive texts from friends who send from their cell phones. He also shares how Sprint lets you block specific phone numbers and addresses, and T-Mobile lets you block all messages sent by email.

See Pogue’s blog for details about how you can block m-spam.

Thanks - I just got a text last week that i had no clue what it was. I'm glad to know there are ways to stop it from happening because I don't have an unlimitted texting.

I can't believe spam is making its way to cellphones. It was bad enough on my computer. With that said, it's nice to know that you can actually stops it before it happens, so thank you for sharing.
