Are there any UK mobile phone companies which allow you to reject all
premium rate text services without being charged for them?

I think all they offer is to stop you sending requests for premium rate
services out.

I have several times just received unsolicited premium rate texts and it
seems to be as good as impossible to get them refunded.

Then T Mobile wouldn't have a leg to stand on to give you charges,
as it should then be impossible to subscribe to any

I had reverse charged Text barred on my T Mobile contract,
had no problem getting any unsolicited reverse texts.

If i had, i would have given T Mobile hell, accusing them of theft
