God damn it!
It seems I am a member of some stupid mobile phone club, that sends a message to me every week, charging me something like $5 a week! The thing Is, I cant unsubscribe! Every time I get credit, it disappears double time! Anyone know anything? It comes from any old number, so I cant ring it, and only says "Ringtone club" then "choose a ringtone" and then some code at the end.... Its pi$$ing me off big time! |

Call your network provider and see what they can do about it.

Yea, If its a dodgy company they should be able to block the messages and then you shouldnt get charged, or they find out how too unsubscribe you.

For those of you interested, I rang the club, they said basically any club that sends you sms's from a number beginning with "19", you can reply to the sms with 'stop' (without inverted commas) and they will stop sending them.
I have done it, but am yet to see if they send anymore... |

Another reason not to put your mobile number on the net, if you selling stuff. Heard that your phone could even be attacked by a virus these days, especially the Bluetooth phones... true or false??

I have heard the same thing AUGZMK, I think especially bluetooth as the the virus can spread from one bluetooth enabled phone to another when it is in range...

Just do what I do - use a really old phone with non-color screen and no ability to download ringtons/photos/any other useless crap you don't need.
