Here is the solution to your problems!!! I was also going nuts getting those damn alerts all the time but I finally figured out how to get them to stop. Follow this and you will be able to disable those annoying alerts.
HOW TO ACCESS: From your phone’s main menu, select Net > Web Sites > Sports > NEXTEL Cup > NASCAR.COM Alerts. disable your alerts.

I also recieve text messages constantly from all sorts of places. I also have contacted Nextel serveral times and they off coarse have no solution. They stated they placed a block but I still receive about 5 texts a day which come late at night and early in the morning!! I just wish Nextel cared somewhat about their customers! They have a horrible customer service department and I wish I would have known this before hand and I would have went to a differnt carrier.

I’m having the same problem. I finaly talked to a tech support person at Nextel and he put a block on nascar. It did’nt work. I’m still looking for a solution. I’m sure my problem will get fixed before yours because God actually loves chevy people the best. Take that Jay Leno.

I have had a nextel phone acct. for quite some time, and during which i have been pestered by numerous text msgs from nascarsms@nascar.com. i have called Nextel several times but have got no results from them either, other than them telling me to disable my text capabilities, which i dont want to do! I have tried researching the website also, and got even less results from that. Due to the way that my phone is set up, the msg notification will keep alerting until the msg is either opened or deleted! can someone PLEASE help me in maybe finding a solution to this nagging problem, I neither watch nor care in the least for an organization that would discriminate against the greatest vehicle God ever put on this earth, which is of course…..FORD.
Thank you! tumbleweed378@yahoo.com

Of course the CSRs won’t, but the managers listening in to the calls, purely for quality control of course, might give at least one crap about it.

yeah, but like some stupid customer service rep working out of some backwater call center gives two craps about their company’s costs

In Oz, we don’t have a lot of text spam and i could never figure out why it was such a big problem in other countries. Then i found out that other countries insist the receiver of text messages pay for them. In Oz it’s sender pays, and i’m certain that’s why we have almost no text spam.

If these marketers had to pay even 1 cent for each and every phone receiving those messages, i’m sure the text spam would dry up in a day. I’m sure you could try complaining to your phone companies, but i doubt they’d give a damn.

Maybe you could try mentioning how much of a burden all those text’s must be on their networks and how stopping them would reduce the telco’s costs? It’s about the only argument they might buy.
