'Free' text message services
 

I know there's no such thing. But I've lost my phone. And I've just sent a text message via one of these things, to the dude whose house I take care of, asking him how to work the washing machine.

Message- 'Hi, I cannot figure out the washing machine. Can you call the landline when you get chance please?'

Default pop up from the mobile site;



I guess if washing machine is offensive, I should stay away from the thing, right?!
(WTH?):confused:
:)

Maybe the offensive word is "landline":confused:

I tried again thinking it may have been a mistake!
I remember one system I used when I worked in an office, dealing with people wouldn't let you type certain names because the word encompassed an offensive word.I had to do some creative typing!Maybe it was that but I don't see how!
Or maybe it's a ploy to get you to sign up to something, I didn't hang around that long!

I still remember when our computer system refused to allow anything to "Scunthorpe" because of rude words

Did you finish your message off with kisses (xx), Sugarmouse. Sometimes they are picked up as being offensive.. :D

Re: 'Free' text message services
 

Would that not depend on who's doing the kissing?:D

You beat me to it. :)

The cost to the company of sending a "free" message is far outweighed by the profit from having a verified, current spammable mobile number.

Re: 'Free' text message services
 

Why not try downloading the washing machine user guide from the net?........just a thought.

Re: 'Free' text message services
 

Lol :)
Hmm, maybe that was it!
I don't know about that! :D
Lol I can live with that
I've been guilty of giving my best friend's number instead of mine, whenever I can't remember my number and its' not that important, he's had a few rants at me about it (oops).
Lol me too :p
It wasn't like that though-I know you've probably not read my 'current projects' thread, but I'm helping this guy sort his house out, and one of the main problems is the electricity only 'half works'. Thus my issue was not knowing where the washing machine was powered from, what I can unplug safely,is it actually plugged in, etc. Good suggestion if it was a 'normal' scenario, though!Thanks :)
