Well, I guess we'll just have to see if Nokia start sending us junk texts offering cheap meds or enlargements...
More, I have no idea how to "unjoin".

That's the thing, it DIDN'T ask. And no, I don't just click through Yes/OK/Whatever.
I don't mind sharing some info with Nokia. But I DO mind them having my number.
I'm running a fairly stock device - installed some apps, but no new kernels or anything like that...

After a reflash, I got the "My Nokia" page. It gave 2 choices:
* Read agreement
* Done
I clicked "Done", because there wasn't a "Cancel" or "No Thanks" button. "Done" in my mind doesn't mean "Yes subscribe me" or "Yes start sending out texts at cost to me".
After I received a text from Nokia, I remembered from the My Nokia splash page that you can unsubscribe in the Settings dialog. I did this a couple of times, to be sure. Again, never having been informed that this was sending texts or costing me each time.
It's not a lot of money, but pretty shoddy behaviour in my opinion.

So how does one unsubscribe from this service, or rather how do I make it STOP sending me those "failed to unsubscribe" sms all the time and charging me for them?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Wow, people need to relax. I think you have bigger things to worry about than Nokia knowing you have a n900. Go into settings and unsubscribe and stop crying about your privacy.
MyNokia is a service put into place with only good intentions to inform people. If you have that big of an issue, call Nokia and they'll pretend to care, like the rest of us on this forum

Does anyone know what process or config file could be modified to stop the text being sent? For example, I could update with no SIM inserted, modify the file, then insert the SIM safe in the knowledge that my details won't be sent.

It should have popped up a notice, and we have no way of knowing if it did or not for you. In any case, it isn't a breach of privacy unless they leak the info (assuming that somewhere in the T&C it says you'll be providing the info to them, which it no doubt does) or use it in a way that is not disclosed in the terms and conditions.
