    Didn't you consider trying to stop the texts when you were getting 250 a day?

    Ive never understood why these scam companies are allowed to charge you to recieve one of their text messages its just crazy ... I really think the rules on this should be seriously looked at! i had a company once send me about half a dozen text messages or so in the space of a few minutes and i got charged £7-50 for the privilage ... this company randomly picked numbers to scam on so not even my fault! needless to say i never got my money back either ....
