Hi there,
Yes I agree with you !! As a business that helps other businesses to use mobile to get there message out, I always encourage privacy and participation to phone users. For instance, my clients use SMS text messages to provide coupons, special offers and sales (but only after the user has opted-in) to get them. Wouldn't you like to get coupons from your favorite places right on your phone? You encourage people to opt-in while they are in the store or with other print add incentives. Also, we use mobile adds too, which always require the user to "click" to move forward, so totally optional. The trend is moving this way for sure as more and more people utilize their mobile phones as their main source of internet information, especially for local searching.
Regards,
Ritchie.
