0709'S are not usually a rip off call, if it was short then I doubt it would be charge at a high, are u back in the u.k now ?0 -

I would call your network up and check on the call, they will know how much it costs and also if there is a rsik of you being charge for future texts you may recieve. Some of the dodgy numbers will send you texts a £1.50 per time and if you call your network now then they can prevent this from happening.0 -
Thanks will do that0
