> ... you can't stop people from sending you messages I did. I grew weary of paying for text messages that I have no interest in receiving, so I simply called AT&T and told them to turn off SMS entirely. Since 95% of my phone messaging is via iMessage, and the other 5% is via free Google Voice SMS, I'm not giving up anything at all by turning off my carrier's SMS. I'm not interested in giving a single SMS-related penny to the telecom oligopoly.
