Seriously, how "intelligent" is advertising on mobile phones by service providers? Not talking of "professional"services like mGinger Admad etc, brilliant ideas gone bust, but of the regular dose of phone beeps Hutch, Airtel, Idea, Reliance et al gift us. Some of it actually is good stuff, like more messages about schemes and recharges when my balance/validity is low and stuff, but most of the time, I get stuff like "Click ####### for beautiful pics of Pamela Anderson"or "sexy beach wallpapers"or some funny crap like that. Of course I never click those links, but frankly, I've never got one about hot hunky guys, or any of the male actors. And since the connection is in my name, some marketing guru should have ad the sense to tap female usage by at least remotely targetted messages (unless of course, they've assumed I'm lesbian). Assuming this way of making money is profitable on the whole, they're missing a lot of profit by skipping the women subscribers then, which should be substantial too.
Meanwhile, mobile menace in the age of mobility boom continues.
Cheers to that.

I am sympathetic to your cause. Sure they should send some female-oriented ads. For instance, as you mentioned, pics of hot hunky guys, or any of the male actors.

LOL. They should stumble on your blog before they call you.. and read those posts of ur where you rant, rave bout feminism :P
D-N-D is the only greatest achivement of TRAI.
One of my fren joked, saying that "I opt for that do-not-disturb option, the provider of that D-n-d called him up and thank him for choosing the D-n-d facility"
LOL!
Hey, how come I never receive Pamela Anderson pics on my mobile phone?
Unless they have assumed I am gay.
LOL!!
Brillian cartoons. Fwd me some of the hot guys info when u get it :-)

Hmmm...I agree...
I think its some kind of accepted fact that women are not turned on by 2-D visuals so they won't buy it! So ok even if you don do dat, even if u don't talk about shots of hot guys...what abt info on say the latest sales in town like Fabs etc!...concerts, plays...the works!

Basically, serious marketing issues...!!!

More liek i am too lazy to go ahead register for it, and secondly, it would make life too lonely on some days with no beeps on the fone at all.
Lesbian...mm...i think i m happier being bi. Options maximise.

[prude]
Fine, even then, no new sales n mushy dushy things info either. :((
(PS Yuck)
Isme bhi feminism!
I guess they don't send such links because women turn on in a different way. Instead of hunk pictures they should send: "Click link to meet VirtuaBoy! He is a tall, cute, sensitive boyfriend who remembers your birthday (because it is stored in our database), gets you some girly gifts (what's he got to lose, he's made of pixels!) and does not stare at your chest (as his eyes haven't been animated)"
