Txt 8555 New Zealand wins Lazarus Award for refusing to die

Something tells me that Txt 8555 isn’t that popular with the New Zealand Consumers’ Institute…

The Lazarus Award, for a product that refuses to die, went to Txt 8555 competitions. Russell said the “rampant vagabond” text-message competition charged entrants $3 for every message sent to them by the company and then awarded them a prize lower than the value of what they had spent on their phone bill.

Just do a Google for Txt 8555 and you’ll see all the complaints.

Thanks for sending this Dafyd!
