You joking right? The amount of text messages spam I receive now on Verizon, and some 8 months ago before on T-mobile is staggering.

They're cracking down with "10DLC." Mass SMS senders must identify themselves, pay a fee, and register each campaign including its content.

Are you suggesting that because of stronger KYB/KYC for sending bulk, that increased the amount of spam text you get?

I think they are suggesting that the stronger KYB/KYC was ineffective at reducing the amount of spam.
