Text Message from 4444 - SprintFreeMsg

June 14, 2006 @ 1:46 pm · Filed under Blog, Customer Service Reviews, Text Messaging

Sprint is at it again. For those of you who have gotten the call from 866-463-3017 which turns out to be sprint soliciting their own crap you’ve probably had enough right there. Some people have reported that they’ve called back and said to put their number on the do not call list for sprint (good luck with that working). But they’re at it again.

I received a text message at 5:50 am from those sprint punks telling me there are free demo games available from them for download. For one thing, I don’t even download things from my phone which they should know since they keep track of all my information. Even if I get angry with them on the phone. Thanks.

Do I really need to be told this from those guys? I think not. Just another reason sprint sucks.

    2. I just got off the phone with Brian at Sprint about these messages from 4444 - SprintFreeMsg. I asked him to put a block on these.

      He told me (1) that 4444 isn’t a valid address so it wasn’t even possible to receive one (well then, how did it get on my phone?) and (2) there wasn’t any way for him to block these.

      C’mon Sprint, if this is you, then stop already. If it’s not, why the heck can’t a specific sender be blocked? I did not give “4444″ permission to send me repeated (or any) SPAM via email, SMS or otherwise.

      Sheesh.

    3. Update…. I just spoke to somebody different at Sprint. This guy ruled. He knew all about the “4444″ number and had me reply STOP to it. In addition, he directed me to a new area on the Sprint website where you can put in up to twenty SMS senders to be blocked. To do this, log on to the Sprint website and then go:

      My Online Tools -> Text Messaging -> Settings and Preferences
      then enter the numbers for SMS blocking.

      Not sure what I would do if I had more than 20 senders to block, let’s hope it never gets that bad.

      I’m just disappointed that the first tech I talked to told me the sender couldn’t have been “4444″ *and* told me that incoming SMS messages couldn’t be blocked. Two very wrong answers.

    9. I replied with “stop sending me spam!” and got an opt-out confirmation message shortly thereafter. Hopefully they will honor it.
