Hey MTN Music!

Just because I'm a paid subscriber, does not give you the right to send me irrelevant SMS spam.

Didn't get tickets fro the 50 cent concert? Get 50 cent RT or wallpaper from MTN before midnight Thu 2ND and stand a chance to win 2 tickets (travel not incl.)!

Seriously, you have no right, not only is this blatant spam, it is also extremely badly targeted, two reasons I say this. Firstly, and I'm generalising here I know, most people that have the premier business package would not be 50 Cent fans (I'm not) and secondly, they can generally afford their own tickets thus don't find your sms helpful, just an invasion. Send me news about the newst business thinker speaking in SA and I might not be so irritated. Better still read permission marketing.

It's really basic stuff guys...!

No, bro. I got it as well. I am not a premium business package person, but neither do I like 50 cent.

My bird is on PAYG, and she, too, errantly received the annoying SMS.
