I've given my old phone to my partner, and since it's been mended by Nokia/their repair outlet (can't remember the name) he's been getting a number of spam text messages from 'SavaMob'....incidententally at the most inconvenient times. Not amused to be woken up by spam text messages.
any tips on how to stop them and ideally get the money back?
should he ring Orange cust. services?
anyone tried the £1.50 SMS Guardian mentioned in Martin's post above?
Grumbletext doesn't seem to work with Orange.
thanks
