    It was the wife entered my number without my knowledge or consent,i spent about 2 hours trying to get to the root of the text,google and comreg were bashed and now she's not talking to me as i 'over reacted' when she came home,she used her own phone and entered my number which should not be allowed as it leave people open the scams and cons,regards

    A few days ago I got a similar text from the same number. It turns out the only way to stop it is to text STOP back to that number. Then you should get a notification message staying that you're unsubscribed from their service.
    The message I got back was:

    "You have been successfully unsubscribed from this service. You will no longer receive any messages from number 57181. Thank you and have a good day."

    Well I have no memory of signing up for this. I never put in my mobile number into anything. I have texted STOP, but only after seeing a total 32.50 on my phonebill. Now I want to know how to get my money back off the ba**tards.

    These are the culprits http://www.mobilefun4u.net/ireland.htm. They suck. I will write to them and see what happens.

    omg - this 57181 makes my skin crawl.
    I got a smart phone reduce my phone bill by using Skype and these guys keep adding to my bill.
    I have tried in vain to unsubscribe.

    i eventually got their email address. Sent an email asking for my money back.
    They could not refund my Vodafone account and asked for my bank details. Eventually they refunded my paypal account.

    They now have a scam going whereby when you log off from the new dunnes.ie shopping on line - they pop up a web page outlining a competion to win 500 euro vouchers for dunnes. you give them your mobile number, they text you .......

    I reported this to Dunnes who cannot stop it.

    Crazy crazy crazy

    keeping comreg very busy.
