I called Safaricom the same day I received the sms from YEScampaign and they said that , the sender had sent out a broadcast message, i.e 072200001 -whatever number Those of you who work for the Telcos, does this mean anybody can buy bulk sms and broadcast to us anytime?

I also got the SMS yet I have never subscribed to any SMS referendum service. Strangely the country code of the sender seems to be from Sweden.
Maybe they are using Safaricom's network because it's colour is green, as I have not received such a promotion from my Zain line.

They are not the only ones. Even this amorphous 6969 promotion somehow got hold of people's numbers.
It's high time some sort of law was passed protecting customer information along the lines of the UK Data Protection Act

Today I received a promotional sms from the "YES" campaign. Can Safaricom explain how our phone numbers were leaked?
