Firstly call your network provider, they will be able to bar these messages.

Secondly, contact the company who sent the message, or let me know the code they used and I can find them for you.

If you want to charge your mates, £3.00 let me know I can set this up.



wkers!

No, but you can complain to Ofcom. Thing is, who can be bothered for a couple of quid? That's how they get away with it.

Simpliest thing is to reply STOP. Replying with anything else (ie. swearing back and telling them what you thin) is likely to get an automated response at another £2. Oh, and messages over 160 character are two messages, so two charges!

Just reply 'STOP' and be done with it.

Dunno what the deal is these days but when this happened to me many moons ago turning "push messages" off in the handset setup stopped this happening.

Seriously - I want to set this service up. I have so many people I dislike.

02 said that it down to the user regarding these messages, insinuating i had signed up for this. Crazy. they dont offer a service either to stop it...
