Got a spam txt from a 021 number this morning. Turns out it is for a low power fm radio station (but nonetheless) it's spam. Is this a breach under Vodafone's T&C's?

Txt was sent at 6:20am this morning

*update* turns out it's someone I know.. Still, hassling them out now about txt spamming people.

I would not call that spam and how do you know its from a Vodafone subscriber?

Well if the person is known to you in passing, but you're not exactly aquaintances.

Its also spam when the message is worded in such a way that it's clearly written to be read by not just myself.

I forgot about the number porting.. so my bad there.. but still consider this txt spam
