Premium Rate numbers

[Anonymous]

How do I block premium rate texts?! My daughter has been receiving them at a cost of £35 to me this month!!! I blocked one last month which seems to have appeared back!! Nothing appears to deter them!

Have a look at this thread....you can also report them to phonepayplus

Blocking them on the phone will not stop the charges.
Search the shortcode number on http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/ to get the contact details them call them to ask them to remove your number. That is the only way.

Also have a look through this link of common phone scams.
Knowing how these things start is a good way of preventing them in the first place http://www.scambusters.org/cellphone.html
