At least with SMS, they have to pay a penny per message. This should prevent rampant SMS spamming from ever taking hold the way that email spamming has.

Certainly more effective to get attention because there is no anti spam protection on SMS. But much more annoying.
joe styler says
got the same message over the weekend. Hopefully they keep using the same from address so I can keep them blocked. 🙂 Was this from your google domain registration as well?
Andrew Allemann says
Either the google one or godaddy.

Mine was google for sure because its the only public whois registration I made recenty.

Interesting that someone would go after the trickle of google registrations at this point. I suspect it is from a broader scrape of new entries in the zone file.
The domain in the SMS spam was registered at godaddy and hosted at small orange, which is an endurance company.
