Pursuant to Sec. 14 of the Can Spam Act, the FCC has
jurisdiction of email to SMS spam. I believe that the
FCC believes that SMS to SMS spam falls under the TCPA
- in other words, their jurisdiction to.
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/tcpa.html You can
file a complaint with the FCC at
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html#general SPAM
to Wireless Phone is opt-in by law. In other words,
unless you have opted-in, it is illegal. There is no
exception for carriers; they do not get to spam their
subscribers. See FCC press release

Dave,
feel free to post this to the list...
The address mentioned is totally bogus. The actually
correct answer for their address is
Cingular Wireless
Glenridge Highlands Two
5565 Glenridge Connector
Atlanta, GA 30342
which can also be found at

The CEO's name is Stephen Carter, which is probably
the best way to get the letter filed into the
presidential escalation chain. Be polite, be sincere,
and candid in your complaint.
Thanks,
Christian
