I think the original message was fairly clear that the messages would only
be sent to people signing up on the web page for call blocking, so they
are solicited. If AT&T were to send messages to random people asking if
they wanted the service, that would be unsolicited.

The original posting mentioned "millions of messages" because they
assume that millions of people will visit the web page to request calls be 
blocked.
