Bouncemobi text message

Hi folks,
Had a text message tonight on my wife's phone that came up as being from "Orange" but no number....
The message said
"FreeMsg: U have joined bouncemobi Play games @ http://games.bounce.mobi 24 hours free then £1.50 per week. Send stop bmgames to 80206 to end. Help? 03333359980"
Now she has told me that she hasn't signed up for anything, although she does have loads of crud free games on her phone like candy crush..... but she does let our two year old occasionally use her phone.
Can't decide if this is a con to get me to text / call the numbers or if my little girl might have clicked something by accident.
Anyone seen anything like this or got any ideas?

I would have thought you'd be on safe ground calling an 03 no. Aren't they charged (from mobiles) at the same rate as 01 or 02?Lifes_Grand_Plan wrote: »Help? 03333359980"
