There I was relaxing in front of the telly after a nice little dinner when my mobile phone beeped a message. I opened it, and this is what I saw.
Excusez-moi? I don’t seem to understand.
I guess from the words “Hot MAN ZoNE” this message was meant for men. Men who cannot read properly but who ENjOy ReADinG cHIldIsh wRItinG lIkE thIS. Irritating.
Then, it tells the person in the “Hot MAN ZoNE” that you can “Get pretty GIRLS in your phone now!” Note the caps in GIRLS as opposed to BOYS. So, make no mistake, this message is meant for a man wanting girls IN his phone. I’m not quite sure why anyone would want a pretty GIRL in their phone. I mean, a phone is for you to make and receive calls right? Why would you want a girl in it? I mean its not as if she was in it to help you make and receive calls.
Then I get codes to sms for “animation” or “wallpaper”. Animation? Ooh kinky!! What sort of animation could I expect from a pretty GIRL in my phone? Dancing? Singing? Horse-riding perhaps?
Ooh! I know!! It just might be an animation of a pretty girl riding an Osim iGallop!! Gets the old blood going every time. For the uninitiated, here is a video of that embarrassing Osim iGallop commercial that aired repeatedly during the FIFA World Cup last year. No prizes for guessing why.
If that animation doesn’t do it for you, then wallpaper for the phone of a pretty girl just might. So, next time you see a man staring hard at his mobile phone without talking into it or texting a message, he might just be enjoying his “animation” or “wallpaper” courtesy of some sleazy sms message like the one I received.
Next question: How the hell did this company/person get hold of my number? Bloody Maxis must have sold me out. All that jazz about taking the company private must be going to their heads.

I won’t get any of these invites. Why? Because I am still using a dinosaur phone with mono display. LOL!
Oh that Osim iGallop video… I still don’t understand how bouncing around on that contraption will help you lose weight and look gorgeous at the same time. LOL!
Yeah, I get crap like that too. All these telcos are sellouts; they claim that your number’s kept private and all that, but it’s just a whole lotta nonsense. More often than note, the crap I get on my phone’s FROM these telcos! The ones which annoys me the most are the ones which come in the middle of the night. Gah!

(man, that took a lot of effort to type :p)
M oledi quite annoyed with all the telco’s promotional smses. If I get this, they are really going to get an earfull, inboxfull & postboxfull from me .
Pablo: Won’t stop them from sending it to you anyway lol!
Rinnah: It appeals to the basest male instinct I guess. Gal bouncing around = gorgeous! haha
Tine: TElCos ANd CrEdIT cArd CoMpAnIeS bOtH
Tummy: Woot! Let us know how it goes! Idiots. I don’t even know how these messages are coming through.

And if only that Hot Girl in my Phone can answer some calls occasionally!
It could possibly be us signing up somewhere else (forms/docs/feedbacks etc) that required us to write in our phone number.
Credit card companies on the other hand, might sell your numbers, to insurance companies, and the domino effect starts.
Better check your next cellphone bill. I got CHARGED for receiving SMSes like this! And after several protests and arguments, I managed to get Celcom to refund the amount, tax included!
The iGallop contraption is really kinky looking. Some salesman actually asked my hubby and I if we’d like to give it a try while we were in the mall. *pengsan*
trying to remember if I received anything that funky when I was with Maxis. hmmm… nope, but their SMS services for all those announcements are equally as annoying!
LB: Wah I couldn’t even read that!
Gallivanter: Yeah thats true. The only good thing is that being a mobile number, its changable.
Giddy Tiger: Serious?! Sheesh! Let them try this stunt on me and I’ll have their kidneys for tea. with ginger.
May: Yep they keep sending stupid messages about their purported service.
GT: My comment about having kidneys for tea was re being charged not re the iGallop LOL!
I might need a pretty girl in my phone. Honestly. She might be able to teach me how to send an SMS. Otherwise she is too small for anything. Think it is nicer if the girl is holding your phone. At least can see her eyes. Just got to hope she don’t use all my minutes.
