unsolicited premium texts

[PeterKemp]

Can anyone help with this. I just found out that my wife has been receiving unsolicited ‘prize’ texts for months from two numbers 88227 and 88101. Turns out these are premium nos and just receiving texts - even tho you didn’t ask for them - costs. Total is about £25 per month and it’s been going on for ages. Anyone know how to block these numbers. There’s no block option in the texts. Thanks

These despicable scum need to be stopped.

Make sure (as advised) you get a block on

premium numbers and direct to bill bars

put on your wife's account.

Best wishes and Good Luck 

follow guides and may be take some time

but get your money back...TallTrees
