Grumbletext is a better TXT spam trap than the phone networks - reader letter

Readers have welcomed Orange's initiative, but point to other systems which may work better ...
In your article "Orange takes steps to block mobile spam" you never mentioned the excellent Grumbletext website.
This is a clearing house for checking up on junk SMS and generally any scams going on. Anyone can report a spam SMS and others soon add to that report, creating an ongoing log of how a particular spam has evolved.
Grumbletext then advise on what to do / what not to do, and are also working to increase awareness of spam/junk SMS and, in cases like the BPQ voicemail spam, press for action against the offenders.
Note the site is currently 'frozen' due to an imminent site update.
