Don’t text ads to me unless you’re willing to pay me! I pay to send and receive text and MMS messages, I’m not paying my carrier to receive ads from them or anyone else. You didn’t note in your stats whether or not those who HAD responded had only responded to ask to be removed from the list… what are those numbers like?
