Following this with interest. I think it would be improper
for networks to sell/avail subscriber numbers to others for promotional purposes
because subscribers don't have a choice to opt in to this when they sign up for
the service (I certainly didn't). Promotions from the network itself are of
course a different matter altogether.
Regarding spam where the sender gets phone numbers
through unscrupulous means the only solution may be to press the DELETE
key. Sim card registration should make it possible to pursue and prosecute
offenders (assuming there is a law against spamming in
Kenya).

I also got one. It seems Safaricom has a case to Answer.More so i
didn't sign up for any YES Campaign media gimic. I would call the SMS a spam
SMS.
