Is this message SPAM ?

Almost daily I keep on getting the following message which I’m cut and pasting below – Is this SCAM or what because I have never complained about my BELL FIBE TV service.

Public Mobile here. Unresolved complaint about telecom or residential TV service? CCTS may be able to help. 1-888-221-1687 or www.ccts-cprst.ca. Free msg.

I’ve future dated for a 30 day plan, still mid cycle on my 90 day plan.

 

previously, I’ve looked back, and it’s been about 3 -r month intervals.  I made my plan change just a week ago ... I wonder if the 30 day plans get it every cycle?  90 day seems 1 per cycle.

 

Note... PM Is forced to notify you of this message.  As they don’t send you paper or electronic bills, SMS is really the only option.

I thought it was only the outgoing texts that got counted on that plan?

I considered it to be "mandated spam".  The message itself is legitimate, but I feel that there really is zero reason for Public Mobile to send this message to customers every few months (other than that they have to remind people because of a rule).  On modern smartphones, the messages can easily be blocked.

Hehe spam Cat LOL

 

As others say, it FEELS like spam but it is a legal requirement hence the messages (usually monthly or quarterly though; daily is a new one to me)

I feel like its spam, but apparently it is technically not spam 😞 Although almost "daily" would be a major concern for me, I would suggest contacting a higher up, like the moderator team to give them a chance to fix this error since it should be closer to 4 times a year.

 

I have complained about this exact same message in the past, but apparently they are legally required to send that message despite my (and many other people) feeling like its spam.
