strange sms form nr. 88999

Anonymous · ‎17-03-2013

Hi, recently I received a sms text from the number 88999 and it charged me £ 1.25 just for receiving the sms. Can you tell me what is it ?

Possibly a premium rate text, you should be able to get a refund via Phonepay Plus:

You could try replying with "STOP" and forward it to the O2 Spam reporting number which is 7726.

It appears to be a premium service for ringtones http://uk.funfone.me/info/faq

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.
