false lah... 3things

1) how does the telcos know total sms hit 60 billion? they do not share these info, probably only IDA can know if they want.

2) Even if you forward 10 of these sms, how can the telco know you are forward THIS message and not something else, UNLESS they track every sms content??

3) times are bad, rebate u $49, siao ah?

Yeah...

No here's the scamming part....every sms u send cost u $0.05 u send 10 people = $0.50 and if 10% of subscribers in sg sends that...that means 700,000 people x 0.50 = 350k

AND! If they were to rebate $49/person...thats $49x700,000 = 3.5million. Take u know how msgs to earn that money back
