Text Services, How to Stop Them

dg1968

My daughter has downloaded a ringtone from TXT UK (adverts in the magazines) and now she keeps getting texts which are taking £1-£2 everytime she gets them.

I have tried sending the word STOP to the 88066 but it has not stopeed this, also tried to call them but when you type my daughters mobile number into the phone, it says the number is not a regongnized UK number which is s...

Any body know how i can stop this, i have sent an email, contacted her O2 phone provider asking them to block it.

She is 12 year old and so far it has cost her (well me) £20 in one week??

Problem is this TXT UK company does not have a contact number (proper one) as tomorrow morning i want to give them hell?
