Driving me nuts.  Replying would incur costs.  These never happened before I bought my Droid yesterday.  Now it's every hour or so.

Constantly.  Dating sites of some sort. Usually at 11PM or later.  In a blur when waking up I hit reply and incurred a $25 charge. Sprint took it off, but it was a trial.

No, not those.... although I did start getting the stupid telemarketing scam phone calls about the free "heart scans."  Of course there's no number to call back, nor do they even leave the company name.  You have to leave a message with YOUR contact info and someone is supposed to call back to set an appointment with you.  They really, really make me angry.

I'm going to call tech support tomorrow morning.  Googling it shows that we're not alone.  Has something to do with mobile email on the previous phone...I guess.

I don't know, but I want to kick Oz's ass right now.

What pisses me off is the the way to opt out is to reply "STOP" but you incur a charge doing so.  That's not right.  At all.  Seems that a call to tech support (according to some google testimonials) will help kill the issue.  Downside is you have to wade through 20+ minutes of tech support.

Like I said, I want to kick Oz's ass right now.

I'm on the phone with tech support now....they're idiots.

ETA:

Idiot #1 finally transferred me to an articulate and intelligent woman with a very calming voice, hinted with a flirtatious yet platonic personality.

She confirmed the problem stemmed from a previous Mobile Email Subscription.  The text blasts came from the app trying to re "give" itself to you.  She cancelled the subscription.

Problem solved.  Now I don't have to turn my Droid into a frisbee!!!!

<sigh>

I'm happy now.  Tech support saved my sanity.  I even told them so.  Just have to breach the first layer of customer service to get to the educated types.
