How many do you get a day/week? Wojcik claims to have gotten thousands since he signed up last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojcik claims to have gotten thousands since he signed up last month. I don't recall, I unsubscribed a few years ago because it was getting to be too much.

BuffaloATL Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 And this is worth suing over.... why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBD Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I only get them when they sign or cut someone and at the end of games to remind me that they lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitzShowUsYourTitz Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Good Ole Russ. This is what happens when you have to Overmarket a bad team. Could they really have sent that many?? I guess we all know what Russ does with his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covac23 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 On average, maybe 5-7 a week. And I'm including the two that I get on Sunday regarding the game. Thousands since last month?!!? That's ridiculious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FitzShowUsYourTitz Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 And this is worth suing over.... why? Most likely b/c texts costs $$ and may be an FTC violation, similar to telemarketing violations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MURTR Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 http://www.law360.co...eam-alert-texts How many do you get a day/week?

GG Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Most likely b/c texts costs $$ and may be an FTC violation, similar to telemarketing violations. Except that you have to agree to receive texts from someone like BB.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 18 this month. To be honest, i didnt think it was that many. I dont mind them. Seeing the text at first makes me feel like a kid on christmas. Then i open it to read breaking news on david snow and reggie wells -- worse than coal.

NoSaint Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Except that you have to agree to receive texts from someone like BB.com. And he agreed to 5 per week and is claiming many MANY more. Possible system glitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 18 this month. To be honest, i didnt think it was that many. I dont mind them. Seeing the text at first makes me feel like a kid on christmas. Then i open it to read breaking news on david snow and reggie wells -- worse than coal. I know the feeling. When the whole Mario signing was going down, the text alerts were the only way I could get any news during the day. I work as a trim carpenter, and when the text came in I was perched on the top of a stepladder doing crown molding, hands occupied with the piece, a nailgun, and a bottle of wood glue. Then my phone goes off. I'm freaking out and I'm trying to shuffle around up there to get to my phone, not making any attempt to get off the ladder. Fell off the dang thing flat on my back. Hurt for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Bills likely do not do texting themselves but use some other company like most of the auxiliary things like website. Some bug in software may have resulting in a user being flooded with messages but hopefully any judge will tell plaintiff that stopping messages is something plaintiff could have done before getting 'thousands'.

Maury Ballstein Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 And this why the legal system is a joke.....this dummy will probably get a million dollars much like the McDonald's hot coffee lady If he didn't have unlimited texts then pay the 100 bill......anything more than that would be an absolute joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 And this is worth suing over.... why? Because some jackass attorney thinks he can pinch the Bills for some money. That's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 And he agreed to 5 per week and is claiming many MANY more. Possible system glitch? Possibly. But you don't get a choice in telemarketing bombardment. If it's a technical glitch it can easily be fixed with a billing credit or Bills paying for the overage. No need for the lawsuit. Smells fishy anyway. If there truly was a technical glitch, it would have been a page one complaint here for weeks ... ie Ralph is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulu Cthulhu Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I don't recall, I unsubscribed a few years ago because it was getting to be too much. I opted out as well due to their annoyance. Never received a flood of them like the plaintiff claims though. It has to be due to a glitch as someone else above suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
