Hi Woody,

I'm not sure what your point is, so I'll just say this was NEVER sent by
the OP to any Apple newsgroup - it was only sent to the following groups:
 Newsgroups: comp.mobile.android,alt.cellular,uk.telecom.mobile

However, thank you for bringing up a good point that "Sliide" may be active
on Apple iPhones also for all we know - but I didn't bring Apple into this.

I have a killfile for some Apple posters so I don't know who brought Apple
into the discussion - but - the good news is Sliide may applie to iOS.

Or it might not.

I do not know if Sliide adds their sleazy content to Apple devices as my
Apple devices are not signed into the Internet to get that content.

Since "someone" else brought Apple into the discussion, it allows us the
opportunity to ask the Apple users in the UK, the EU & in the USA 
(as well as in the 187 countries that Sliide advertises they're in).

Q: Does anyone know if carriers are adding "Sliide" content to iOS?
