I don't hear anyone complaining right now about unsolicited texts

Really? You must not be listening. Do a quick Google News search and you'll find dozens of articles about it.

My T-Mobile hotspot has 133 unsolicited (and unread) text messages in it right now because spammers think it's a cell phone.

During the last election I received 50 or 60 unsolicited political text messages from both parties on my work phone.

Unsolicited text is a problem.
