Blocking Calls & Texts

[rockyracoon]

If you block the number of one of these text services (that charge you for receiving) will you still get charged by them for attempting to text you?

Thanks :)

Dunno - but you can get your service provider (Voda, O2 etc) to set up a block for ALL incoming premium text services. They hate doing it (because they make money from these ludicrous charges), but just keep insisting and they are obliged to put a block on - threaten them with Ofcom if they resist.

They said they'll have to block all text, so they lied then? Surprise surprise! OH is on to Channel 5 about it as it seems to be something to do with them but I'll get him to ring EE back and tell them to stop the premium rate ones.

Thanks Dave :)
