I have just had a test - I only send them to my friends but this says (as it is written, am not with all this text talk, sorry)

Freemsg: Txt: CALL to No: 86999 & claim your 6 hrs call credit reward for landline calls! Subscriptn6GBP/Mnth inc. new 200mins 16 gamb.tv UnimpLtd stop? txt Stop
From 86888

I've read it but not replies and I am not sure where it has come from. Do I have to text Stop to these people and will I have to pay if I get more messages. My sister started getting these messages and ended up paying 50p for each one but I am on contract and am worried that I might start getting charged loads of money.

Thanks for any help.

According to their blurb, unless you text CALL to the number you won't be charged, so personally I'd just ignore it as it just seems like spam.

You could text STOP, as they say, but all you're doing then is confirming that the spam they've sent has had a reply from an active number.
