I upgraded OTA and I didn't get any warning about this. It was only when I browsed around and saw the (new?) "My Nokia" thing under Settings that I realized that somehow I had been subscribed without my concent, and without letting me read the terms first. Gotta wonder if that's even legal. I haven't yet recieved any sms about it though, so I don't even know if a message was actually sent to Nokia. If so, it doesn't show up in the Conversations dialog. I'm tempted to send an email to customer services to unsubscribe me, because I certainly don't want to put money on the table for Nokias mistakes. I guess if we all do that, they might get a clue.

Thanks arne.anka for your in-depth analysis of the situation!

I'm guessing this is the screen that myself and others never saw. Notice the lack of means of not agreeing.



From my investigations so far, it seems that this program sends the MCC and IMSI of your SIM to Nokia.

The /usr/bin/cherry program contains the following numbers:

Code:
65535
+491771787772
+61416906978
082822828
5555
3546
1723
88108
+420720002434
1231
15977
12150
36300
20270
72626
54009
+852649656884
06305555505
55555
3789
51203
0529997103
+393424113333
3157
1897
1337
32424
6262
2553
2012
09228866542
4777
4404
1871
4440
1550
75665
+421902021021
3838
31630
72660
+886961098566
4808665
84000
8069
Notice how the majority of them are shortcodes. I haven't yet tied each MCC (country) to each number. If I do I will report back.

One of the '3xxx' numbers is slovenia. Sadly the phone company for some insane reason considers phone numbers I dialed a privacy violation so blanks out the last 3-4 numbers.

Hmm... you never had a Nokia before? This is nothing new, I had it already with my good old N95. They never send you any ads or anything, just some useful tips and tricks about your phone (the less known keyb shortcuts and things like that).

Oh, and I actually had that screen asking me for permission after upgrading OTA to PR1.2 (not the one posted by xmob btw, it actually allowed me to decline).

My service provider doesn't support shortcodes, so technically my N900 should fail to register.

But, I have a US model and live in Canada (N900 is not to be released here ), so I would assume it should try to send to a US-based number... which could potentially cost me extra if it's successful.

I've been holding off on upgrading for several reasons, now I'm still trying to decide what to do. I'm considering waiting until there is some sort of official comment from Nokia... but given how long we waited for 1.2, maybe Harmattan will be out by then...

I tried unsubscribe and received a SMS from the listed number for Romania that un-registration has failed.

Then... We can say that deleting "/etc/X11/Xsession.d/34cherry" after the update & without the SIM card solve the problem?
