    Off late I am getting too many SMS spams from many companies vibes, chrmp.com, futurebazaar, Dr batra,zeroG,etc - I have never subscribed to any of such services ? I am really sick of it.

    I went to those websites like vibes, chrmp.com, futurebazaar, Dr batra,zeroG who is sending sms spams
    and send a request asking them to stop sending SMS spams but they seems to be just ignoring my request.
    How do I handle these SMS spammers ?

    who is ur service provider ? Just launch a complaint with your provider they might help u as the spams could be coming from them as well as an marketing deal or some thing.
    The try to direct a mail to ceo/admin r wat ever the company expressing ur frustration, usually they respond and take prompt action as this would hurt their business (gave this suggestion based on personal experience)

    Our Government has been promising for many months that they would stop SMS spam altogether but I see amount of Spam is going up day by day:(
    May be someone is paying hefty bribe to governments to allow them continue spamming via SMS.

    Has the law been put in place ? I think the fine starts from 2011, not clear about the month though. If they send after the so-called date then the companies will be fined heftily.

    inform their support, but without subscribing it shouldnt come to u, anyway they do have a good reputation they cant spam, for example futurebazar is an ecommerce site they could aware u occasionally. If they do this is a wrong strategy.

    I think you need to start "DND" Do Not Disturb on your number.
    Ask customer care on how to activate it. :)
