It?s official: spammers, the scourge of online living, are beginning to make the inevitable move to SMS and other text-messaging services.   
  
Reports are emerging of the spamsters trying consecutive numbers until they find valid ones and then sending out unsolicited messages.

We look at it as if we’re doing these people a favor if they’re looking for these kinds of products.? One irate AT&T Wireless customer replied: ?Clearly the sender knows it’s going to interrupt somebody’s day… They’re not doing me any favours by soliciting me over my cell phone.?
