Over £8.00 for a 3 minute call!!

elisebutt65

I decided to check on my sons credit on his mobile - he's with T-Mobile.
I topped him up with a fiver a couple of weeks ago and ussally he goes weeks without using it. To my shock it had all gone!!!

I checked on his call online and there was a 3 minute call to 09096420420 which cost 8.11 and wipe out all his credit!!!

He's in bed at the mo so i can't find out why he called this number and I don't know any reverse phone directories - I entered the number into google and couldn't get any results there either.

So mad now that there is a number out that that charges over £2.70 a minute - I thought the maximum was £1.50!!!!

Gaaaaaaah - vent time!!!

I'm sure said £1.50 a minute is for BT lines only. On a mobile you will be charged £1.50 a minute plus an extra charge from your mobile network operator. (I think)

See pages 4 and 5 of the following document. T-Mobile say 09 numbers cost from 75p to 250p per minute and they will bar them if asked.

The number that your son dialled is a UK domestic number for the website pinaccesscode.com - it has been dialled from my phone.

The number allows people to anonymously get access to adult pornographic websites - this number being specific to one website. For you and your son's privacy, I won't post which website - but if you wish to know - please reply.

spylad, this thread is from 2006! Hopefully elisebutt65 and her son have sorted it and moved on now ...

To check when a thread was last updated, just look at the top left of the last post. It will give the date and time there.

I did notice the date, however, found little helpful response in the thread itself provoking further investigation on my part.

Hopefully now, should anyone else encounter the number and Google it, forwarding them to this page, at least they have a bit more of an indicator as to what the number is.
Cheers,
Spylad

Sssssss

I'm sure that's not what you said before you edited your post. I'm sure you apologised and joked about needing glasses or something.

Ha ha - I did post something completely different (sort of apologetically) and then realised what absolute rubbish I was talking and decided to amend it.

Glad I did....

Ok, if you'd denied it I was going to seriously start doubting my mental faculties. Glad to see my memory hasn't quite gone yet.

Maybe spylad was also not aware that when you edit something is shows at the bottom of the text? :rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl:
