Cingular charges to receive, which is really nice since they're going to start charging $0.15 a text message come 1/21/07 vs $0.10

the problem here is that all you have to do is choose delete all an you won't be charged... you're generally charged for reading, not receving. That only applies to a few wireless carriers. I think T-Mobile, Tracfone, and Cingular are the only two I know of. But to counter this, just leave the program, running. No need to let up because their phone will be so flooded with messages, they won't be able to use it without another "message received" message popping up. Verizon (which supposedly boasts the biggest network and number of customers) does charge by the message. Sure it may be free for the first (increments of 250 for $5) number of messages you pay for, but after that it is ten cents each. If the program runs like I imagine it would (and when does it ever) it would send something like, (completely random number) 100 messages a minute give or take. A simple mouse click on the "start" button would send a constant flow of messages (maybe input into a text box or something) to the desired number. After a little while, they will have racked up charges that they won't believe. If you are feeling truly evil, you can simply leave the program running to render the phone useless. Just a thought.

This is true. But about Gizmo's reply about message flooding, they can only apply that clause to flooding from another cell phone. A program created from the computer to text message a cell phone is a completely different thing since there are so few at the current time.

Id rather ugn got approached by some cellphone company asking for a program to stop 'mailbombing cellphones'. Then again like sintax's conspiracy theory of 9/11, you could make a program to do evil and then come up with the cure. That way you get more $$$.
I had my phone send over 15 messages 2 years back and I thought it was just a cellphone malfunction. But the company refunded me.

I believe that mailbombing cellphones over various carrier lines which would likely go over state lines would be more than a minor infraction; which would also be beyond the scope of what we'd publicly offer on this site. so theres a no in there somewhere right?
