   SMS spam it is. Most of it I got wants me to call some expensive 0190 (i.e. 
0900) number or false promises of hotel vouchers, which then are handed out 
only on the condition that one subscribes to some magazine (and then not 
even). I don't know if the prevailing mobile phone systems in the US allow SMS 
(Short Message Service) from phone to phone, so this might be unknown there. 

  By the way, this message illustrates two little problems with the character 
used to introduce quoted message text: 
 
  a) the standard setting is to have no blank between the quote character and 
the following text; 

  b) when the standard is changed to make it a "> ", i.e. the greater-sign 
followed by a blank, it includes the blank even befor previous quote 
characters.
