Thanks for your comments here but I don’t know why you suddenly bring up the statement by Jeff Ooi.

Pertaining to sms spam, I would disagree with your comments about the telco’s promo sms. Reason being, telcoms don’t provide an option for customers unsubscribe to “unwanted” sms.

Currently, I am using Celcom service but I don’t like they send me “unwanted” sms until I have to purposely call them to stopped the “unwanted” one. I demanded to stop all future sms spam. Do you know what they tell me? They can’t do the stop for future sms and what I can do is just reply the sms to indicate stop receiving without called them. Well, I understand that I can be charge for RM0.50 for just unsubscribe. Imagine you have 10-20 unwatned sms in future, what’s amount you need to pay to just to stop the sms.

On the other hand, Maxis is good, come out a move which enable the customers select the option to stop receiving unwanted sms (I saw an adv in star paper).

I don’t know about Digi, if you are Digi user, maybe you can let us know whether Digi allow you unsubscribe to unwanted sms delivery.

The way he generalize sms = spam = scam, is like telling you email = spam = scam. The way he sabotage innocent sms providers by hiding the facts and write his own assumption is like saying Yahoo mail = spammer = scammer. Before one judge what is scam, study first.

90% of the unwanted sms are sms promotions from your service providers like Credit Card, Bank, Genting, Tesco etc.
10% of the unwated sms are SCAM from Win Akademi Fantasia prizes, Maybank lottery etc.
less than 0.00001% as evidence by your telco are sms providers offering you services, which you downloaded or requested. The way Jeff Ooi mislead public by linking above issues to these poor sms provider is not only unethical but irresponsible as a human being.

Occationally, there are errors from telcos, you can always question your own operator and get an answer. No big deal. This is already top quality service. Try asking a refund from Telekom Malaysia or Tenaga National. You dream your wrong bill got processed shorter than 6 months.

There are bloggers who frustrated with Jeff Ooi spoiling the blogger image. Becareful with what you are reading and give a comment if you don’t know the deep down story.

In fact, it was an eye opening experience spending the entire journey with Edmund, Gobala, Khai, and Vince as I got to know them better.

Teh tarik no probs, anytime! You should have joined me and Vince at McD when you called us that time.

Aim for the next seminar in US - Mike Filsaime’s marketing main event 3.

Ciao for now.
