At work, I have a RL2000 that is activated on the Austin CSA. Seems the
previous owner of this number signed up for a number of MSN alerts. We
get over a dozen alerts a day. I don't want to pester people at our
corporate offices over something silly like this, but I'd like it all to
stop. I don't have the information Sprint would ask for for account
access. Is there something I can do with MSN to stop all this? I've been
on the MSN site and didn't see anything.

It probably would have stopped on its own if Sprint hadn't reassigned
the number so quickly after its deactivation. Call Sprint and demand
that they block (reject) messages for the period of one month. That
should be enough for MSN to deactivate any messages sent to your phone.

Sounds like a valid ground to ask for and get (for free) a different
phone number.

Thanks for the advice, but for me to make a change like that with my
company would require quite a bit of footwork on the corporate end, both
in contacting sprint and changing the company literature. I don't have
the information needed by Sprint to make changes on this account. I have
these messages filtered into another folder by the phone, so it's not
terrible, but it is rather annoying to get the Libra horoscope and
"METRIC AVE/Cedar Bend - accident reported" every hour or so.

Mike, I get MSN mobile alerts, set up from mobile.msn.com . Don't know
whether this suggestion will work, but you can try it. You can go there
(mobile.msn.com), sign on or join , and set up your profile with your
telephone number. If you are lucky, all those different alerts will show up
and you can delete them from there.
If that doesn't work, there is a contact link -
http://mobile.msn.com/support/Contact.aspx where you can plug in your
telephone number and request all those alerts be cancelled.

Why not log onto MSN and try to change settings ... asking for a
password reminder. Perhaps then you will get the password emailed to
your phone and you can then login yourself and shut the notifications
off. Otherwise, you need to email [email protected] (or any other
valid email address you can find for them).
