watch 4000 satellite channels on the internet for free go to www.nettv5.com
from 850-228-5853..

according to whitepages.com
850) 228-5853 is a Cell Phone
Likely Location:  Florida (Tallahassee)
Tallahassee metro area, Leon County

called the number, states  voice mail box not set up yet

I have gotten this text also, but from 850-228-8065. Thos is mu first time getting the text.

I filed a report with the FCC (this is easy, just google "report SMS spam" if you want to know how to do this).  I also reported abuse of the "nettv5.com" domain to Yahoo, since they're registered through Yahoo's nameservers.

rec'd same message (7/21/11 @ 948a) but from 850 228 3608 - called AT&T and reported it - used the 7726 (SPAM) to forward it to them - they said they would look into it - I agree w/ others that the perpetrators need to be prosecuted!!!

me too.  Same txt sent 3/29 at 7:30pm
Watch 4000 Satellite Channels on the Internet for free! and gave a web address to go to.
Would like to report them for unsolicited text advertisement.

Received SPAM Text on two of my TMobile phone from 8505915518  -- wondering if TMo sold our numbers.

2 spam text messages so far advertising a internet tv website

Got a text from 850.591.5518
watch 4000 Satellite Channels On The Internet For FREE!
Nettv5.com
is this a scam does anyone know? Thanks.

got the same message too at 11:40 PM when I was sound asleep, was not able to sleep for the next 3-4 hours after the message woke me up, i am so mad!

I received an unsoliticited text message from 850-591-5518 for viewing satellite channels. i do not use text messaging and this added 10 cents to my phone bill. I am with Consumer Cellular.

I received a text message from this number that read: "Watch 4000 Satellite Channels on the Internet for FREE!" I did not subscribe to any services. I did call the number (850-591-5518), which went straight to voicemail and left a message warning them that I did not want to hear from them again.

im with at&t got a text from a 8505915518 about free satellite channels how do these plp get our private numbers this is not the first time someone that i didnt give my number to have called or texted my phone about something i didnt request

I called ATT about this and they agreed to remove the charge.  They also had me forward the text to 7726 so they could look into it.

Today, 3 days later, they have followed up with a call asking me if any more texts have come from this company and fortunately, none have.  Hopefully this will be the last of them.

I also filed a DoNotCall registry complaint on them.  Hopefully, it will stop.

Got an unsolicited text message from these people this morning at 9:35AM Central Time(USA).  One thing to note is I have my plan set up so I can't receive texts via Email.  I'm on a per text plan too so this cost me money.

Going to complain to my wireless provider, A.T. & T. to get the charge removed.  Also going to file a DoNotCall complaint on them.

Received this tonight on both our phones.

That is a cell phone out of Tallahassee, FLA...
I'm reporting them in the morning to the BBB.
Suggest everyone else do the same
