Back when Consumerist posted this I got the same text and replied stop and got a message telling me that I was now opted out of AT&T marketing messages.
 
Well just now I got another text from AT&T that says “AT&T Free Msg: Your phone can now dial & roam internationally. See att.com/wirelessinternational for rates & att.com/wirelesstraveltips for iPhone travel tips.”
 
Again I replied “Stop” and got “AT&T AUTO REPLY: You have Opted out of AT&T marketing messages. Please do not REPLY to this message.”
 
So what I did before is not considered opting out? And I also don’t remeber opting for these even if they are free!

I am not talking about the KGB of Russia. I am talking about the Knowledge Generation Bureau. I have see their commercials on TV and was extremely curious. Well it looks like they are trying to build up a database of information from people to places. They claim they are not a search engine which to me it looks like more of a Wikipedia type site.

I was looking on their website and their is a graphic that says “what country owns the moon?” I was curious so I looked it up on the site. No answer. So I sent a text with that question and this is the response I got “To answer your questions, it will be $0.50 and std/othr charges may apply, please reply YES now. Text HELP for info, STOP to end.”

The answer to the question is no one really owns the moon according to Wikipedia.

If you are looking for answers via text and what not you can use ChaCha, its free. You will not get an answer right away since real people are looking up the answers for you.

Below are the commercials for KGB if you are interested.
