If you have been receiving spam on your mobile, read this:

"Thailand's three major mobile phone operators - AIS, DTAC and True Move - have agreed to joint countermeasures to block up to 9 million spam text messages a day. The three operators will spend 30 million baht on anti-spam software using an application centre to filter unsolicited advertising across their networks.

Customers at present can only inform their mobile operators to block spam messages if they are sent from within the same network.Starting from Aug 31, the new software will be able to reduce SMS spam by up to 90% of the 10 million junk messages sent every day.

To block unwanted content, mobile users must contact their call centre numbers - AIS at 1175, DTAC at 1678 and True Move at 1331. Spam SMS sent from any of the three networks will be automatically blocked within 24 hours of a complaint."
