Over the last month i have benn receiving most days some rubbish txt regarding bidding for an i-pod.Certainly I didn`t reply to any of these nor were they ever requeted.I don`t do ring tones or any other``things`` that are sent to you via my mobile.Speaking to my mobile provider today it appears that I have been charged for these calls at a premium rate.

I am livid!!!!I have e-mailed the company asking where they have got my permission for this.Also i have said that I wil be seeking a full refund for these charges.

Btw,I am the only person who has access to my phone.

Any ideas please?

Have you tried texting the word STOP in reply to the number?

With a lot of text services this works.

I would go careful sending any SMS to them - may not be normal rates. I wouldn't risk it. Agree that junk SMS is becoming a real problem.

I had a SMS the other day on my O2 phone just entitled "Important". No number and it gave an option to open it (like you would an MMS) which seemed odd. I just deleted it.

Fair point, it will most likely cost more than a standard rate. It was just a thought on how other operstors can be stopped.

Well done on emailing the company by the way, i will be interested to hear if you get a response.

in my e-mail that I will be making a claim for the £25ish that in my opinion I have fleeced out of.
