| 1174316 | 2011-02-01 20:53:00 | Talk about double talk - in that Herald article, Vodafone re-defined their spam as "targeted advertising". And what is it that makes organisations like Vodafone say they have changed an obnoxious practice, "but not because of your complaint"? Sigh... :mad: |

| 1174319 | 2011-02-01 21:41:00 | Likewise. I'm the emergency point of contact for a lot of things, not just friends / family, but also mission-critical servers and systems for multiple businesses. This is why I'm personally on contract, it just keeps going, no worrying about top-ups ;) |

| 1174321 | 2011-02-01 22:45:00 | 2degrees are awesome at spamming me with text messages every day, but I haven't gotten one at 4am yet. | Siobhan Keogh (16063) | ||
| 1174322 | 2011-02-02 02:40:00 | Here is a suggestion - this is what I do: I have a profile on my phone for sleeping, which silences texts, emails and notifications, but rings for calls. The logic is that in an emergency anyone would call me if they needed to, rather than rely on a text in the middle of the night. I even have restricted it to a predefined list of contacts (family and friends) so as to prevent random customers calling me in the middle of the night when I want to sleep. However not everyone would want to do this and it is not a critical part of the idea (also not all phones will have that feature, but all phones would probably allow you to silence texts and notifications only). |

| 1174324 | 2011-02-02 03:05:00 | Not useful if servers send SMS alerts ;) I would never rely on sms for any important messages. You just never know if someone receives it, especially between the different networks. And yes I use my phone for an alarm, in fact its on me or next tom me 24/7 |

Technology has not gone as far as conversational english :) |
