Also have a an LG Rumour with Virgin.Just received this message 4 times in a row.

I have been getting these, two at a time, every week for a month now, the phone's five months old so my number has spread out a bit, but still! I called Bell, and they said "Just send a text back that says "STOP." I did that, but then today I got it again! pisses me off.

I'm in the 780 area code and I've just received the same two messages. Both received at 16:15 on my BlackBerry and both from (416) 555-2121.

1st:

I thought it might be a script of some sort to triger information send back. I have a firewall on my BlackBerry and if this continues I'm going to enable it and see if it will block these texts. Also, if enough people call their providers, a 'harrasement investigation' is conducted between your provider and your local police. I've done it before.

Yes this is happening to me to, 3 at a time every few days. I also pay for text messages.

and virgin mobile is based off of bell mobility.  coincidence that bell and virgin users are being texted.  I activated my phone online by myself.  I don't receive any of these b***s*** calls.  when you activate your phone at the kiosk(s) They send your number off to the marketers.

I got the same thing on a Samsung Instinct.  And only my dad has my number as it is brand new.  Got for in a row - same script as above.  Very odd.  Plus I have free incoming text - so i doubt that its a money grabbing scam by providers.Very strange!  Even more strange is the 3 websites with this discussion about the same number that doesn't exist!
