    After getting a dose of three last month, I decided it might be interesting to put together a web site that takes in SMS Spam reports so we can see who the offenders are, the frequency etc.

    It's really an SMS Spamcop type site (eventually).

    Pretty bare bones at the moment, but if anyone is interseted in helping out or just throwing in some more real SMS spams for me to test on, it would be great:

    PS: Corinthian, isn't that address only for SMS spams referencing premium rate landline numbers?

    Yeah, I'm getting those "from IOL.ie" ones too.
    I spent 20 mins on iol.ie a few days ago trying to find a contact form/email address that I can send a request to be removed, but nothing in sight.

    I eventually sent one to support@iol.ie, which is listed in their help section (for internet access). Still no word back, but I'm not surprised.

    I do recall using iol.ie for free SMS messages, but that was at least 18 moths ago, so it's not so much the fact that I'm receiving the messages, but that there is no way to unsubscribe.

    If you contact O2 customer care (assuming your on their network) they will make sure it doesnt happen again.
