I've somehow managed to join a premium rate quiz system. I suspect it's
either something to do with an Apple ad or maybe signing up to Nokia text
service for a festival. Either way, either I didn't read the small print or
it was never there but I had a series of about 10 text messages asking me to
TXT answers. I never sent any texts (as I assumed I'd pay for those) but
I've just checked my bill and I paid £1 for the pleasure (NOT!) of receiving
the text message...

Bloody cheek!!

I've not had one for about a week but T-Mobile have flagged it so I won't be
charged for them.

What's doubly annoying is that each of these text messages didn't have any
clue on how to cancel them...

So watch out... I've been given helpdeskuk@netsize.com and 0870 7502929 as
the contact number for the outfit.

Rob.

Standard way of cancelling them is to reply with 'STOP' or 'STOP ALL'

Thanks for that. Not had any for a week or so, so hopefully they've given
up.

Cheers, Rob.
