    Every few days I get one of these f**king annoying spam texts wanting you to send a reply message costing a small fortune to try to win somehting crap.

    There is no unsunbrive information - how do I get them to stop?

    Message says:

    Txt2Win: Congrats May Bonus Winner F.Farrell wins two tickets to Man Utd!

    Comes from 0863810941

    Any ideas?

    Try replying with the word STOP.

    Otherwise call up your network and they can check your call records to see who's taking the money. Ask them to request that you are unsubscribed also.

    One of the popular nightclubs in town started sending me texts every week for no reason. I had never been there and my number was fairly new, so I suspect someone had signed up for their list after a beer too many and written a number wrong. It was very annoying and I tried three times to contact them to no avail. Eventually the texts stopped luckily.
