'Phone Spam

Gah. I hate SMS spam. Unfortunately, as I have a work-provided mobile, I can't get it added to the Telephone Preference Service's do not call/SMS lists. On the plus side, it was pimping a premium rate telephone line without saying it was such (although it is obvious from the 09... number) - this is in breach of regulations which state that they must tell you what the charge rate is and provide contact details. I therefore duly reported them to ICSTIS (who have a neat online complaint form). I feel a bit like the FBI going after Capone - if I can't get the spammers for sending spam, at least I can get them for doing something else wrong ;-)
