Wireless Spam
One of the side effects of increased cell phone usage is the risk of telemarketing calls and junk text messages (NY Times, free registration req’d). Given that in the US users pay for incoming airtime and often for incoming text messages such call are not only annoying, but cost users money. There is absolutely no excuse of spam text messages.
