Hi, I signed upto compatition sites like myoffers on Friday23rd March. Yesterday Tuesday 27th march I get a letter saying you don't have enough to pay your t mobile bill. I have entered lots of competitions where it sais they are free. I didn't enter any that said you had to pay. All emails that come through say they are free emails. I now unsubscribe to all of them and have tried to unsubscribe to the main competition sites ie my free offers. How can I stop this. My bill was 150.00 and is usually between 35.00-40.00

Thanks.
Andy

    Confused. How can an e-mail not be free? Do you mean text messages?

    What exactly does your T-mobile bill say that these extra charges are for? Calls? Text messages (unlikely)? Going over your data allowance? Is your phone connecting to the web without your realising?

    We need more info and the explanation will come from your bill. Come back and tell us precisely what's happened.
