    My friend in class made an app to spam someone with texts.
    Definitely only for laugh, choose a contact then choose how many to send.
    Anyways here's linky!

    to market comment or i'll tell him to get his ass on boards. :D

    SPAM is no joke. We are all trying to eradicate it. And your 'Friend' did this for a laugh? Not smart, not clever.

    Reported.

    Really? Don't get me wrong it's stupid but no way does it deserve a site ban.

    Tis a tad overboard alright. A few of the lads always textbomb whoever doesn't turn up for a night out so I dont really see anything wrong with an app like this.

    Because an app like that has the potential to be used maliciously. Spam isn't just advertising, any unwanted communications to your phone or e-mail is spam. If someone wanted to harass another person this would be an ideal tool to do so, and I'd rather nobody was able to say that they got the link to it from this site.

    I had 2,500 free texts left and had to use them by midnight. I was going to take the piss with it but when it said it might break some phones by overloading them, I said I better not. :P
