This really seems like something the FCC should be enforcing… T-Mobile has no authority to make anyone pay fines… Terms of Service are not legally binding like that. All they can do is refuse service, and report the activity if it’s actually illegal.
…yes they do. This is for vendors that use/enter into a business relationship with T-Mobile directly to send short codes or SMS. I.e. companies like Vonage and Twilio.
You can absolutely enforce fees against your direct customers for certain behaviors.
This would not work for messages received from other telcos
When you replace government regulations with self regulating corporation, this is the best we can hope for I guess.
FCC is kind of a joke. Corp tells them what to do. If FCC did what it’s meant to do, we wouldn’t have such crap mobile and Internet infrastructure, terrible privacy policies, etc etc.
Mmmmm, yeah, I’m going to need you to
come in on Sunday, too… we kinda lost some people and we need to do a little catch-upalso fine the bitches that handle the political bullshit, too, thaaaanks.Like 4 years ago I started replying to these (political) unwanted messages with pretty hardcore yiff. The replies I get are great, and I don’t think I’ve had the same campaign try twice since, but I’d rather just not see the shit at all. Add a 0 or three to that figure.
It’s definitely meant that I will never, ever donate to a campaign again
Ditto for candidates that send me a bunch of flyers which go from my mailbox directly into the dumpster.
For me its the fireplace, still worse than random grocery advertisments.
I do the same! One goatse reply and they’ll leave you alone usually

Do it long enough and you’ll find the marketing dude who’s into it and just spams you more.
Time to send you some political spam messages, eh?
;3

not you spamming us with the same comment twice
Rules for thee but not for me huh?
Not sure what that means. I never get any messages from TMO unless it’s a bill notification…
How does a company fine someone?
they ask nicely for money
Is this per message, or…?
We need to kill phone numbers like, yesterday. It’s too hard to change a phone number.
We need a way to give a unique number to everyone, record who we gave them to, enforce that only they can use it, and burn them at any time.
From what I’ve heard, it’s very easy to change your phone number on T-Mobile.
Spam callers don’t seem to care what number they’re dialing.
Cost of doing business. T-Mobile just demanding a slice of the action
