I'm Suing Google (For Text Spamming Me To Death)

Posted by on February 2, 2009 in Annoying, Google, Technology | 2 comments

Okay, before this reaches Techmeme, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am not suing Google, rather I am VERY frustrated that one of their online office suites, Google Calendar will NOT stop sending me text messages reminders despite the fact that I sent the STOP command, and even turned off reminders in my gCalendar event.

I thought this was an isolated case, but it seems that numerous folks are experiencing the same thing, on various carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile).

Since these texts are costing me money, I am going to ban Google indefinitely until this problem is either resolved, or Congress grants me a personal bailout.

Note: For those of you suffering under the same thing as well, just simply call your provider and have them block 483-68.

    AT&T cannot block shortcodes. Unfortunately… that would be too easy.

    Yeah, I had them turn off my text receive/send on my iPhone until Google can sort out its mess.
