I'm having real trouble with a premium text number 63666. I texted the number accidently mistaking it for 63336 - the ask question answer text number. I recieved a text back telling me i had registered for 'flirt chatroom text' which i clearly did not want, and promptly texted stop, as told to. I had no response and recieved further texts, and ended up texting stop 4 times and hearing nothing back. I had to ring up vodafone and get a premium text block added to my phone. However, because the texts im recieving appear to be from non premium number, i am still recieving these unwanted texts, and im guessing still getting charged for it! If anyone knows what i can do now please let me know as im being charged at a constant rate for a simple mistake

And here's the page from Grumbletext which explains about premium rate text services.

I followed a link from Grumbletext to Phonepayplus which is the industry regulator and got this information.

Pathway Mobile, the company that's taking you for a ride, has its own rather minimalist web page which helpfully provides an address in Wales. You could look it up on Google Street View and see where your money's going to.

Looks like a nice building - do you think it's hired offices?0
