"You didn't tell me this thing gets spam at four in the morning," I told my co-worker as I was giving him the pager. "Is that just something you let people be surprised by their first week on call?"
Apparently, it was news to him, and at lunch, another team was also complaining about a recent deluge of spam on their pager. Spam sucks a lot more when 1. it wakes you up at 4 am, and 2. you can't ignore it and you can't turn the phone off because it might be a work call. I guess I could have figured out how to set it up so it only rings for known text messages, but I couldn't figure out how to use that phone at all, and now it's not my problem. At least, not for another two weeks.
So is anyone else have text message / "Net alert" spam problems? These are Nextel phones. My personal phone is AT&T Cingular, and I haven't had any problems near as bad as I had with that work phone.
I just got a piece of spam with the subject "blog," so of course it jumped out at me as I was scanning my inbox, and of course I opened it. Man, that's just dirty pool.
