Is there some way to send text message faster? Like maybe by computer?

And it doesn't cost the normal email recipient anything to receive
spam? I guess you think that everyone's time spent dealing with the
crap that they sent is all a free donation and there's no cost
associated with that. That's the kind of mindset the spammers just
*love.*

I did not mean it that way. I was just talking about the law prohibiting
junk faxes and why there's no junk sms (yet). Because the recipient has to
pay actual dollars to receive the ads.

It's a freedom of speech issue. Yes, it costs you time (and money in terms
of productivity) to go through your junk e-mail. The same applies to your
junk postal mail. It cannot be stopped because you don't pay actual
dollars to receive your email and your postal mail. At least that's how I
understand it.

I hate junk mail, just as much as anyone else and I'm in no way defending
it.

If you wish to avoid a per message cost, you can send text messages from a
computer to pagers or cell phones using software. I use NotePager Pro you can
try a free download at http://www.notepage.net

Goodluck

The sms recipient can reply to an email address but not by hitting the reply
button.

For Cingular Network they would have to follow the procedure below (other
networks, I do not know):

Yes. The address they reply from is the one from the carrier e.g.
[email protected] , [email protected],
[email protected] , etc.

On T-Mobile if you have been sent an email text message it will arrive
with a different number for each message received. They start out in
the 500 range and increment to different numbers the more email
messages you receive. Currently email text messages that I have
received are above the 600 range. I just sent myself a message to
[email protected] and the number of the message was 625. When
you receive such a message and reply to it you do not need to type in
the sender's email address. You only have to type using a reply
screen. When it comes time to send the message the number you send it
to is the same number as the incoming message.

I don't know about that. I had to turn off text messaging on my
wife's phone because of all the junk text messages she was receiving.
She would get about one a day. I told Verizon about it, but they were
not able to do anything about it. So, I had to just turn off the
service.
