Got txt yesterday from O2 that had just incurred 1st premium txt charge. Checked my bill on line and it stated "no additional charges".... maybe will show on next bill?

 

Thinking back, this may have been due forwarding suspiscious txt (from O2 suposedly!!) to 60599, which understood to be UK Gov fraud team who look into these (like emails - report@phishing.gov.uk).

 

I checked this number out on the net, and it came up as rated dangerous??

 

Please can someone kindly confirm the situation, and if 60599 is a premium txt number, and what the charge would be.

 

Mnay thanks,

Paul.

@CaptPaul 

You should forward texts to 7726.

It's a free number. 

You can check premium numbers here https://psauthority.org.uk/for-consumers/service-checker

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
