Probably one, when I signed up for the service sending them my IMEI. The second when I unsigned. What bothers me is that I didn't do what I was tempted to in the first place --> "Don't press yes, find a way out other than that". No I have to pay 2 SMS as I am not using this type of information much an therefor have no flatrate or free package.
I never got any messages. How would Nokia get my phone number, after all? I never told it what my number was and I don't think there's a service that self-gets phone numbers.
...
In EU, it's all opt-in, meaning the best they can do is offer. Decline or don't reply and you're off the list.
As for the second: Maybe thats the difference. I live in Europe and I did opt-in instead of do nothing. Maybe U.S. versions will always have to opt-out? But nevertheless there would be some information that a SMS will be sent.

IIRC, there was no choice. there was a button that made me proceed to the next step and one that opened the terms of service.
It took me some second to think of that while I was looking for the exit I never took thou.

Small summary:
We have at the moment 6 votes for "useful", 43 voes for "not useful" and 23 votes from people who doesn't matter or never have heard anyting about "my Nokia".
And today many of us got the second "update information" SMS without a aviable update for the N900...
...who of the 6 "we like my Nokia" votes would like to change their votes now?

Never got an SMS from them, but My Nokia is in my settings, and when I open it has an unsubscribe option...
FWIW, I flashed the leaked PR1.2 RC, then OTAed to PR1.2 -- I'm sure I'd have noticed if they threw up the license agreement at either point, but maybe I didn't somehow. Still doesn't explain why, since I'm apparently subscribed, I didn't get any SMSes ever.

Now I got 20 minutes ago a announcement per EMail that I can update my N900 with the Nokia Software Updater to get new functions and improvements on my device...
...I have to unsign or they will never stop spreading hoax?
