Presumably, someone's proof of concept.
@zackwhittaker Guess I should reconsider my plan to use an SMS blaster to send ":3" to everyone in town...
to be fair it does cause collateral damage, as well as interfering with existing GSM/LTE comms for once the feds/Communications Ministry *aren't* exaggerating when they warn of interference to vital services, unless spammers correctly configure their kit to correctly route 112/999/911 calls (which is unlikely!)
