Comment: MAS still continue to use SMS Spam to promote the company's business.  This message is received on my phone and I know very well I've never fly MAS before or passing any information to them.

According to a replied from their customer service in my earlier post, MAS claim they only send SMS spam to people who fly with MAS and have given them their phone number.

It's not wrong to send promotional offers to your customers via SMS but where is the exit point.  You read about my mail corrspondence with MAS customer here: How MAS reply to SMS spam
