Today I received the scariest advertisement offer to date.  The offer if I understood it correctly, centres around placing ads after a user places a call based on their last number dialled.  I assume with the number they can get a general sense of area and interest, specially if you are calling a business.  So the basic idea is you install a game, and there are no ads in the game, but you get an ad after each phone call.  The company offering this is http://www.calldorado.com/

I am shocked that this is even possible, I firmly believe that advertisements should be confined to the app/game they were installed with and should not be allowed to exist outside of the sandbox that is the app.  I believe most users will not understand that as a result of a game they will receive ads in after their calls.  Also I can imagine trying to chase the advertisements back to the game they were installed with will be difficult.

My advice is ready your permissions list before installing any game/app.  Games produced by 3583 Bytes require no special permissions and will not be using “Post Call Ads” in the future.
