The typical rate was one message every 30 minutes, the only solution offered by customer service was to change the phone number. Has anyone ever encountered spammers doing a dictionary attack (emailing all 9999 phone numbers in a NXX) via email-to-SMS gateways?I used to run an email to sms gateway at a previous job (where we consulted for one of india's largest mobile phone providers) I was seeing multiple instances of this even 4..5 years ago. srs -- suresh ramasubramanian [email protected] gpg EDEDEFB9 manager, security and antispam operations, outblaze ltd
