What to Do About Spam Messages
We know customers have been receiving more and more Spam text messages
on their Phones. These are coming through Two-Way Messaging as well as standard
SMS. Many of you have asked what can and is being done about the issue.
- Nextel does some limited filtering today to protect our
network from large Spam attacks by blocking messages that are being sent
to an extremely large number of recipients.
- A more robust Spam Filter will be deployed the week of
10/13/03.
