Sorry for not explaining the Apple reference in more detail. What I meant was I love Apple because they really care about their customers. They seem to give a damn. The networks do not.
Just look at this reply from the UK network Three:

Does that not make your blood boil?
I know that the loophole I found can be fixed. I am not prepared to explain it here because I want the networks to shut off the loopholes I do not know about, as well as the one I do.
- darklajid 15y agoI fail to follow. This seems to be the response to the (flawed? I guess we have to agree to disagree at this point) complaint in your blog. Yes, there are sites that allow you to send text messages from other numbers, some trivial, some with an API. I claim it's a hard problem to "fix" this. What kind of response would you have liked to get? It was fast, open/honest and correct. The last part is probably hand waiving, but my blood doesn't boil. I'd have answered the same, given a small character restriction. This whole discussion gives longer explanations why this is the case in general. If you aren't talking about a specific loophole _in their service_ then I think we're still discussing the same thing or - well - fail to understand each other.
- richardburton 15y agoWe just fundamentally disagree on whether this is bad or not. All I can say is that if lots people got hold of my app it would be awful.
