80160??? What's this number?

Options
Was just checking my phone bill and came across this number (80160) in the TXT messages section. I was charged £1.30 per TXT for services received from this number.

I've never used this number or their services!

Does anyone know what this number is?

Sounds like a rip-off....:mad:

  • I have just discovered I've been getting charged for these texts on a monthly basis since November 2008, from number 80160.

    I think I need to take legal advice on this, as I never signed up to receive these text messages in the first place.

    Has anyone taken action to get their money back?
