The only texts that I hear about are those jokes/horoscopes of the day ones, which are coming from a service you would have had to sign up with yourself.

Yeah spam SMSs are pretty much nonexistent, but that's not really the point. Just because they don't exist now doesn't mean they won't in the future, and as others have pointed out it's possible to intentionally spam someone and screw up their bill. Being charged for something that I may not want without having any choice to refuse it doesn't seem right.

They'll be out there without a contract, but they'll be expensive.
I look at it this way.. I've been on Fido for a long time now, I doubt I'll move anytime soon. I can still change my plan during the 3 year contract. Basically they're giving me $400 to sign up for 3 years (price difference between an iPhone on a contract and an iPhone not on a contract), at some point I might as well take advantage of it. I switch phones enough that I don't think I'd want to be on Bell or Telus.
