It's a minor annoyance, but yes, it is annoying.  I don't know how to  
tell them to stop in a way that they'll understand.  "It's just an  
SMS that you don't pay for, and maybe you'll like the deal!" is the  
response I've gotten.

I agree.  I never said I *like* receiving these SMS ads (Actually  
MMS, with graphics), just adding to what you said by pointing out  
that they're already here in some parts of the world.  In one way  
you're fortunate in the US not to have a real 3G network with all the  
benefits and drawbacks.
