Ban anonymous sms marketing

Additional Information

There is a large number of companies now using SMS to market their services, usually causing a nuisance to the recipients. These texts are sent anonymously and the numbers are not normally traceable on the internet. This petition is intended to force the companies using this marketing method to identify themselves in the messages whether in the UK, another country or using an agency of another country.

Texts cannot be stopped by the Telephone Preference Service.
