Unexpected message from 28832:
"RM3. You have subscribed to JukeNow. RM3/wk (Incl. 0% GST). Get new weekly video updates. Enjoy!"

I have a few questions:

1) How can clicking on a link subscribe for a mobile device? There was never any opt-in via a SMS to a short code (five digit number).

2) Can clicking on a link in an ad subscribe to a service?


3) A big company like Maxis does things like this?
According to SKMM, the short code starting with 2 should be from the service provider.

JukeNow is a sub brand of DailyTV, which is a Maxis service.

Ezra
