Friend keeps getting sent jokes to her mobile phone from the number 81551.These jokes are costing her every time she receives one and she has no idea how it started or how to stop it.anyone any idea how to stop this ridiculous service,her daughter may be to blame for signing up to it originally as she borrows the phone occasionally but claims she has never signed up to anything knowingly.Thanks in advance.

usually these 'services' can be sorted out by texting 'STOP' back to the number - that should deal with most legit ones - otherwise try googling the name of the company and seeing if anyone else has had similar problems and solutions."Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

If you go into an Orange store, we have a link on out tills that you enter the number, say 81551, and it will bring up lots if info, contact number, complaints address, how to stop etc, so if your near one of them, drop in and pretend to be Orange0
