Besides that, if you’re certain it’s unsolicited spam then: We can generally stop most ‘dodgy’ companies from even getting a single message out, and then we can stop messages immediately if they don’t conform to our stringent standards, like not having an Opt-Out in a message! Oh, and we also don’t allow the use of any bought lists, even if purchased legally. Here at ClickSend,even though we’re multi-channel business communications software, we have SMS at our core and businesses use us to do bulk SMS campaigns, but we have a very strict anti-spam policy, which starts upon sign up. They may have created the software themselves or sadly use an actual company that has poor anti-spam policies in place. Generally using online SMS Gateway software, where they’ll do bulk SMS campaigns. So how do they send out all these messages, surely not a warehouse full of people smashing them out on mobile phones? These companies can be sending millions of spam SMS messages in one go and they only need a small % of these messages to be ‘successful’ for them to have made money. With all spam companies, it’s a volume game where the old adage of ‘If you throw enough ?some will stick’ being their strategy. Most won’t work, but some will and yours might be one.
