Message Bombing Mero Mobile Users

This one is about how you can annoy your friends by sending 100s of SMS messages to any customer using Mero Mobile. This one isn't difficult either. Just log in to http://www.spicenepal.com and then goto Sending SMS page. Then in the To field, type in the phone number of your victim eg. 9801234567 and then give a comma (,) and then type in then number again. This will look like 9801234567,9801234567. If you send this SMS, the person with number 9801234567 will get two similar SMS messages from +555. If you continue typing in the same number followed by a comma, which will look like 9801234567,9801234567,9801234567,9801234567,9801234567,9801234567,9801234567,9801234567,9801234567,9801234567, the persom will get more and more messages. But this trick has a limitation, more than about 70 entries will result in some error. You can however, go back and click send again to send more of them. If you continue this several times, the person will get 100s of messages. After sending about 200-300 messages, you will get some server error and SMS sending will be halted for a while.

This trick has another drawback. Your phone number will be sent along with the message to this person, so he may take legal actions against you. So be cautioned while doing this. There is another method which is anonymous. I will discuss that later.
