    Some of you may have already received text's for this service....

    Basically you text "Start" to 57033 and you get 500 free web texts.....they send you a password

    When you do this you also sign up for a weekly 2 euro charge for horoscopes or games or something stupid....

    Immediately after doing this you SHOULD text STOP to 57033.

    You will not be charged the weekly 2 euro....but you get to keep the 500 free texts....
    .
    I read the terms and condition :)

    Well worth signing up

    How long is it since you signed up to this service?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,585 ✭✭✭HelterSkelter


    Sounds good.

    Can you send international text messages using the service? Do the messages appear to the receiptant as if they came from your mobile? And how much do the texts to 57033 cost?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 185 ✭✭Orionetheus


    About 10 minutes...

    It's in the terms and conditons...you can cancel the subscription service at any time and still receive the texts...

    Yes they work on Intl. Texts.

    Well worth signing up

    Are you sure you read them correctly?
    Txting "stop" only stops the content service... it doesnt stop the fact you've allowed their customers to further use your details.


    I suggest you read them with a more cycnical eye next time...

    (Also slightly worrying that "Goldeford Investments Ltd" doesnt even appear in Google...)

    Yup

    Plus there's a big ad at the end of the text which is a bit of a bitch


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 121 ✭✭biofreak


    Did you actually try this yourself? I'll give it a go if this actually worked for you! And are they web texts or 500 free from your phone?

    Web texts and it would appear that there's only an ad if there's room for it....e.g if you use all the characters they don't include the ad...but if you just text Yo....they'll use the rest of the space


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 185 ✭✭Orionetheus


    It gives an ad at the end if you dont use it all up.....
