Ive had that as well Ibrahim but assumed it was because I changed my
provider and they were trying to offer me some incentive to go back to
them.

Subject: BT Text Message Delivery Service
Colleagues
Recently I have been getting many unsolcited calls from BT's Automated
Text Message Delivery Service telling me I have received a text message
to my landline. My phone service is through NTL and not BT.
Is BT doing anything wrong under the DPA or the Privacy and Electronic
Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003? According to ICO:
"Unsolicited marketing transmitted by automated direct marketing phone
calls must have the prior consent of the subscriber and must include the
caller's identity."
I know it can be argued that this is not marketing but something does
not feel right. I would be ineterested in colleagues' views. I have
uploaded the sound file to my personal website (front page bottom).

Please have a listen and let me know what you think.
