I received as SMS from Sanral saying:

Your e-toll registration has been activated. Pin No: ****, your username is . Contact us on 0800 SANRAL (726 725) or www.sanral.co.za for assistance.

I NEVER registered with Sanral what does this sms mean?

The Username was totally blank

1. Ignore.
2. Move on with life.
 
They just reset all their pins because of a "security concern". I guess they've created an account for you. So kind of them, hey?

*edit*

What do bulk SMS campaigns cost per sms nowadays?

They're about 25c per sms for a bulk campaign...
 
It seems my number was used to register an etoll account as i just logged in with a sms that was sent with a proper username and password.

Will have to go to their offices to tell them there is something wrong cause in a space of 2 days i have received 10 sms's. (among which i apparently loaded my etag with R900)

Do SANRAL not WANT you to forget about them?

You now have proof that they can't keep the details secure, find some way to use it

Just ignore it after resetting the password to something else hehehe, make the incompetent who registered but is too dumb to use the right phone number suffer.

Between 0.20c and 0.50c per SMS...

actually cheaper than that if you send more than 2 million+ messages a month.


- Just ignore the sms! Don't bother to try log on to their website with the username and password could be a tactic from their part to lure you on their website that way you input the credentials you've received and automatically you have signed your life away..
