There should be a " guide" to stop this e.g. " Text Stop To then a 4-5 digit number.

I would just reply to one of the texts with the word "STOP".

hi

to stop please send STOP in capital letters back to the number that has text you, it can take up to 9 days to stop but in the meantime contact www.phonepayplus.org and report that they have not given you an opt out.

They can also tell you who it was that has text you and give you a contact number to contact the company re the charges.

Call your mobile phone provider and tell them - they can put a block on the texts. I had to do it for my daughter's phone.

You can also put a block on any premium rate calls/texts on your account too. Doesn't matter if you are on PAYG or contract.

Not that that helps much.

Complaint to phonepayplus if STOP doesn't work.

prem rate texts (i,e what OP is getting), cannot be blocked by the provider as they do not supply that service, the OP will be told to send the generic STOP command to the shortcode texting her, and contact Phonepayplus and the company. I would strongly suggest contacting phonepayplus to report them if they are refusing to stop the texts.

you can place a bar on the account but that isnt a 100% gaurentee of stopping the messages.

I am at present off work with a viral throat infection so I cant get PPPs phone number but i suggest the contact is sooner rather than later!

would you believe, the actual ruling is this is at the texting company's discretion, unless ppp can override that, but I dont want to promise you will get it back,.

Can't you ask your phone provider to change your number ?
