Hi Folks.

I posted over on consumer issues about a relatively minor, but an annoying issue nonetheless with a premium mobile subscription service provider called Zamano.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=68462803&postcount=137

I thought I would post here too in order to

1) warn other people about this "business model" , how it is important to text stop to the number the content is coming from , even if it appears that you are not being charged for it ( however from what an O2 agent told me sometimes when you reply "Stop" to a number you may actually be subscribing to the service )

2) I want to get an indication of the extent of this issue. how many people have similar experiences with these services ?

thanks for looking,

this has been a public service announcement on behalf of Gollem
