How do I stop being charged from 80210 texts?

Options
My mother entered a competion online around a fortnight ago, when it comes to these things she is a bit naive. She gave out her mobile number when he entered the competition. Now she keeps getting charged mobile credit when ever they send her a text, the latest one said 'It is potentially dangerous for pregnant woman to change cat litter?'

Does anybody know how my mother can stop getting these text messages? The number is 80210, Thanks.

P.s. She is on o2.

    She can also call O2 and ask them to block the number, I did this some time back with Orange and they did it straight away.
