I don't think that these are "unsolicited" messages. Users have to send a message to NARAL via text message to sign up for these messages from NARAL. Verizon is just not allowing NARAL to use Verizon's network for this purpose. I don't really see a problem with this.
Don’t be so sure. As indicated in my other post on this thread, I found myself fraudulently signed up for a joke-of-the-day service. I didn’t respond to their initial e-mail. All I did was hit “delete” on the message, and presto, I was subscribed.
I sent an email to that “expert” at UM stating that Verizon has no interest in deciminating their unborn user base.
