SMS spamming is a crime!

US Senate passed a legislation to severly punish Pre-Texting (more commonly known as SMS Spams). It is now a federal crime to obtain a person's cell phone number without permission and use it for SMS Spamming.

I wish they would pass that same bill also here in the Philippines.
