These clowns have stole £9 from my daughters phone despite sending stop to them, she has never knowingly signed up to them yet after topping up today they stole another £9, i've emailed them and had no reply and can't get an answer from there helpline, i realise she will have to get a new sim card to stop this but how can they be allowed to get away with this, she's only 11 and although she doesn't go far but i like for her to keep in touch, this has got me spiting mad, is there anything i can do about it?

    It's not a question of sending 'stop' to 81288, she should send the following exactly to 81288:
    STOP FMVC
    Capitals are important.

    I assume you've e-mailed [EMAIL="uk.web@funmobilesupport.com"]uk.web@funmobilesupport.com[/EMAIL] - if so, try repeatedly calling them on 0808 234 7321.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
