I’m used to the usual “remember me” text messages, but is there a reason they are trying to include the metro area in the message as well?
I’m just guessing here, but I imagine it’s for “marketing purposes”. People sometimes (perhaps often) move around without changing their phone number, so area code alone wouldn’t be enough to pinpoint where you live.
Knowing where you live probably helps with micro-targeting ads.
I’m getting txts to stop trump. I’m getting txts to support trump. I’m getting txts from black lives matter. I’m getting txts from some jewish advocacy group. I’m getting txts to support ohio’s voting volunteers. I’m getting txts to support a ban on porn in kentucky. I’m getting txts to support breast cancer awareness.
I’ve never donated money to anyone. I block every one of them.
But are you available to golf next month in AREA CODE METRO AREA?
Maybe they want you to add them so your spam whatevers or filters allow them access
Maybe they are election campaigns making sure you still live in a swing state.
