Have you come across some scrupulous short messages from our mobile operators lately,they usually comes in various forms,from bettings to predictions,and even asking the silliest of questions like what is the Name of the current president of Nigeria.What infuriates me about the so called short code SMS is the timing,some messages comes in the sweetest part of the night when you really need that sleep or early in the morning when you need to complete that dose of sleep recommended,apparently the mobile operators were taking advantage of Nigeria's weak consumer protection law.I recieved a short code SMS today very early in the morning and it almost knocked me off again as i was just recuperating from serious headache the previous day.The message read thus.......''BIG Games in association with Toyota,is giving away a Corolla this week,in the BIG Toyota Corolla giveaway.Text BIG to 5045 to qualify(N100/SMS)..culled from my MTN messages.This to me seems absurd and disturbing,they should at least ask if i want to receive such message or not before asking me to part with N100 for no good reason.At least they need to be cautioned and warned to desist from polluting our phones.
