Campaign ads on your cellphone

March 12, 2007

Cell phones and SMS are now widely used for many purposes. Opportunists find a weapon through cellpones to spread scamming activities, promotional campaigns, and sending many unwanted text messages to defenseless subscribers. On the good side, cell phones and SMS have helped resolved a number of crimes.

With the coming of the May 2007 national elections, campaign ads will add to the “functionality” of your cell phones. The Commission of Elections (COMELEC) has not yet issued guidelines about this so the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) said that they had no choice but to allow the candidates to send campaign ads through short messaging service.

Why text messaging is a potential campaign weapon?
