@coffeeholic That along with VoIP numbers wouldn't be a bad idea actually. Especially since the Belgian government has decided to require registration of all SIM cards (to lessen crime, as if their stupid act is doing anything when one can just go to a neighboring country and buy some there) and severely rate-limit the amount of SIM cards one can have. It's really disheartening to hear that the fundamental right of privacy is these days at a premium though.. but you're most certainly right. Gotta love today's 1984 world.

@heyheni That'd be a dirty fix though. I don't want to receive the messages to begin with. How difficult can it be to get these marketing cunts to just behave like sensible human beings?

@Condor It's especially ridiculous considering that SIM cards are only communication 'devices'.
It's like saying that you can only have one government-administered E-Mail account. -
Probably just sending out to all numbers.. Once I picked up a phone and it was a survey call.. I asked the lady where did she get this number as it is not listed anywhere and she said she just got the list with a bunch of sequenced numbers to call. I told her that this shit is ilegal in our country and hung up on her..
Survey callcenters never bothered me afterwards. 😂😂😂😇

@Condor do you have a list of countries where you could by sims without registration? thanks

@coffeeholic no idea to be honest. I've never really looked into it 🤔

Exactly 😂😂
I love it when unethical companies' marketing chaps assume that I care about their SMS garbage more than I get pissed off by it. Damart, I didn't even know about your existence or what the hell you do as a business (selling woman clothes apparently.. am I a woman?!) until you shoved your ad crap into my face, and Unigro I really don't have a pending contract with you so kindly fuck off with your reminders (that are in French but am I a Walloon? No!).
Makes me wonder though, with email I usually just give everyone a different email address to deflect spam - since I can reroute email to any particular address straight to /dev/null on the server if so desired. With SMS and SIM cards that isn't really possible.. hence why I'm always so hesitant about sharing my phone number. In email the addresses are scraped off the internet.. but phone numbers? How do such shitcompanies even obtain those?! Their level of pushiness and unethical behavior boggles my mind.
