Nextel: You give texting a bad name!
By Ashley Randazzo
Incredibly, subscribers of the Nextel cell phone service are now up in arms about Nextel’s text messaging scam after making millions on bulk text messages to their customers promoting their new products. It turns out that Nextel was charging .15 cents to read the text messages. These bulk text messages were read by those who received text messages regularly, and those who seldom get them as well. Every time the text message was received and opened, the customers would get the unsuspected charge. Nextel’s clientele is dropping rapidly, but now this is a reason to promote such behavior from the markets.
