    thats a uk short code number - not an irish one
    what exactly does it say?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 387 ✭✭brian2614


    when i open it all is in the msg is "84196" and then goes and downloads a pic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,265 ✭✭✭MiCr0


    you could reply with "stop"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 387 ✭✭brian2614


    tried that,it just says sending failed????

    i'd contact your service provider
    if its a uk number (i'm assuming you're in ireland) the short code will mean nothing from here

    i don't think you can text an english shortcode number from an irish phone. if its not too much hassle just change your number. even with the irish ones it can be tricky to get them to stop

    That shortcode doesn't show up on http://www.regtel.ie/unsubscribe.php#frm like the others do :|

    Ring up Voda/Met/O2 - they can check who's taking money from your account.

    For the UK the body that deals with complaints etc about premium rate services is ICSTIS, eg see this page: http://www.icstis.org.uk/consumers/faqs/reverse_billed_SMS.asp

    Start with your irish operator first though.
