I should add, however, that Martin H of T-Mobile is quite right in saying it
won't stop your own mobile phone company from marketing you by SMS, unless
you specifically contact them to say you don't wish them to, of course.
Have I got that right, Martin?

According to TPS website, it does include SMS - you simply supply them with
your mobile no., and tick the appropriate boxes. I've done it myself to
prevent receiving those "You've won £xxx - call us to claim your prize" only
to realise they charge £3/min for the call. And to give them their dues,
I've not had an unwanted SMS message since. Here's the link to their
on-line registration from.

According to the DTI, it does not. The OIC, however, may have a different
view. Their views may be known around the end of the week.
(This can be treated as a "win" for the direct marketing industry, who aim
to make it s hard as possible for people to object to receiving direct
marketing material........................oh,,,,that Friday feeling
already...)

Does anyone know whether the Telephone Preference Service applies to text
messaging as well as telephone calls?
