When people complain about not getting "unlimited" texts anymore, just point them to this as the reason why....

"send out more than 800,000 texts a day"

Companies that give your details too should be fined.

I've turned them down at £5250, when they come back with an offer above £10,000 I'll reconsider! :tongue:
