Absolutely - if people don't know what's going on now, they are going to be taking it hard up the arse later and be incredibly pissed off about it.

Oh and typo fixes 2, 3 & 4:

Targeted advertising is better than spam no doubt - but if it is unsolicited in the first place it is not too far removed from junk mail.

... amassing has one 'm' too! ...
DISCLAIMER - I don't own a mobile phone, so I'm not sure if the user pays to retrieve SMS messages.
