Does anybody know how to stop getting SMS spam messages.
My brother has been charge £2 for every message hes been sent from a company, i've contacted them and they have now stopped. But does anyone know if there is anything like with junk mail, where to tell 1 person and they remove you from all the marketing list ?

Havent got a scooby but Mr Naughty had £9 in hsi mobile last night and he got sent a text and now hes got 4 pence so I had to phone Tmobile this morning and they said they couldnt do anything. I was bloody raging!!! So he has to top his phone up so he can text stop to some damn number.

Some months ago I received a text offering a free ring tone, which I thought came from T-mobile. Only it didn't, & after the first one (which I couldn't even be bothered to load up & use :roll: ) I then started getting texts every week.
It was some time before I realised that this was costing me each time. I rang T-Mobile who told me it had nothing to do with them, & that I would have to text STOP to a number. Did it a couple of times but they kept coming.
T_Mobile said the company would have their automated system switched off............. I wonder why? :roll: T_Mobile provided me with the name & telephone number of the company which is in direct marketing (sorry shouldn't that be direct theft :x ), but when I rang them the company did remove me from their database. No more problems, but they probably got about £20 from me, which I can ill afford at the moment.

There is a way... its eaither "block" or "stop" or some such... but you send it to your phone company and they should block at the source...
Contact your phone provider and ask them... I'm fairly sure its a "standard" so if your phone company charges 50p per min, ring one of the cheaper phone companys and ask them, lol.
If you havent actually repsonded to a spam text then you should not get charged... so you can get the phone company to re-imburse you.
Also after a global stop then you should not get spam texts so you shouldnt have to worry about responding accidentaly and then getting charged for the subsiquent texts.... well thats what they recon... but hey I dont work for them... and i think they should be charging no more than standard land lines for all calls concidering the net work is there!

The universal command is to reply to the message with STOP all networks are working at getting this in place, but you don't send it to your phone company, you send it to the 3rd party company thats spamming you as the network can't "block at the source"
It doesn't matter if you don't respond to these messages, or if you delete them immediatly, you are still charged the minute it hits your phone & the network isn't responsible so do not have to reimburse you. Think of the network as being like Royal Mail, its a delivery service.
The best advice I can give is register with the telephone preferencial service, its a government organisation that you can register any kind of telephone number with & after 28 days of registering your number goes on a data base & these spamming companies are to check to see if your registered before they can send out stuff like this. their number is or type in tps in google.
