A mate of mine today got a text from Telecom:
Fm Telecom: We've noticed again an extreme # of texts being sent frm this mobile. Please reduce to avoid it being removed as per the provisions of Non Stop Text
Telecom's twitter refers me to
http://www.telecom.co.nz/terms/nonstoptext
That only says fair use policy applies,
"This Fair Use Policy is referenced against average customer profiles and estimated customer use of this service based on historic text usage of our text customers"
Considering that the biggest text plan they've had (before they 2500 released) was 2000 text, lots of my mates used several phones, so of course their patterns won't show a high usage, at 10c overage on the 2000 Boost plan, each customer would use 2000 over a few phones though.
They have sent 15000 texts, just to mates (which happen to be on XT Non-stop as well), not like they were using bulk text/spam text.
I just can't understand why call it 'Non-Stop' text if they then threaten to remove you off the plan....
'Fair Use Policy applies'....
I think they need to be a little bit more specific, fair use could be 3000 or could be 30,000!
Fair use to me means person to person texts, not spamming, not bulk texting, not using a pc to spam texts, there are only so many texts you can send without spamming/bulking.
Any thoughts on what their Fair Use policy may be, My mate really doesn't want to be kicked off
