Declaring War on Mobile Phone Spam
RugbyHoe writes "Silicon.com's Will Sturgeon reports that more than two-thirds of mobile phone users have received spam on their cell phones and raises the concern that spam will become as much of a problem on this medium as it is with e-mail. He continues with a warning that many companies that offer downloadable ring tones are guilty of 'harvesting' your phone number. Think about that the next time you think you need to annoy your neighbors with the latest and greatest fiddy-cent ring tone."
Fp?
God damn Timothy is a racist!
"Think about that the next time you think you need to annoy your neighbors with the latest and greatest fiddy-cent ring tone."

If your neighbour uses the fiddy-cent ring tone the chance that he would be reading slashdot is probably remote at best.
So I think you'll have to live with the latest and greatest fiddy-cent ring tone for a while. Perhaps you can ask him to turn down the ring-volume a notch
