I got the same text, my line is new with a never-before-issued number that
no one has. Unless someone at Sprint is peddling numbers I'd guess they use
automated diallers to mass-text spam. I used to have consecutively numbered
lines in my home. Right after I'd drop the hammer on one telemarketer I'd
get another on the other line.

What I don't get is if everyone's annoyed and nobody does business with
these geeks how can it possibly be a worthwhile way to drum up business?
Unless those same clowns that send money to that Nigerian Colonel are
patronizing the spammers too.......
