In February 2007, the Advertising Standards Authority ruled that the opt out on a direct marketing text message was not clear enough.  It just said 'Opt out available' and didn't make it clear that people could call the sales number in the message to opt out of future messages.  The Information Commissioner has provided an example of a suitable format for an opt out in a text message: PJLtdSTOPMSGSTXTSTOPTO1234
