Just when you thought spam couldn't get any more annoying, reports from the US show an increasing amount of junk mail is migrating to mobile phones.
According to The International Herald Tribune, telco executives and consumer groups are seriously concerned about the amount of unwanted text messages being sent to mobiles.
It's claimed mobile phone spam has the potential to be more problematic than email spam, as it is more invasive and can seriously affect productivity.
Just how big is the problem? Commentators say US consumers will receive 1.5 billion unsolicited text messages this year, a figure that's nearly double the amount received in 2006.
