When SMS turns into Spam Messaging Services
Doctor, Engineer or Actor! Which profession suits you the best? To find out sms JOB (Your Name) to 51515 E.g.: JOB Raj to 51515. Rs.3/sms
This is a sample SMS that is delivered to its customers by Vodafone’s (Mumbai, India) marketing department. I wonder if there really are people who use these type of sms services that are far from truth. Say I send JOB SHAHRUKH what job suggestion will return back. ACTOR? Then I think Vodafone is suggesting that everyone who bear name Amitabh, Shahrukh or Aamir are best suited to work as actor. If the returned job suggestions is NOT ACTOR then we should say to our very Shahrukh Khan “Hey you are misfit in what you are doing! Why don’t you try something else”
What do you say?

If you are one of those using these services remember all these SMSs have a single thing in common and that’s “Rs3/sms”… so whatever be the content, intention is the same! Increase your bill or decrease your talktime, Rs.3 at a time.
