So just recently, well not recent, more like 2 months ago, I started receiving weird text messages. It seems to be automated or done by a computer, I keeps telling me my daily horoscope. It gets soo freaking annoying because everyday at around 1:00pm it would send me a text message telling me about my daily horoscope. Then after a couple of weeks my phone bill came and apparently they charged me for all 30 of those stupid text messages!! I'm like WTF! because I get 100 free text messages every month and never went over those 100. At 1st I thought maybe one of my freinds did it, But it doesn't seem like they would. I dont know if it's random or someone typed my number into something and it kept my number and started sending me stupid stuff. I never typed my phone number into anything online. I'm with Bell, can I call them up and tell them to block the number. It's not a regular 10 digit number, it's only like 5 numbers or something. Can they block it for me, What am I gonna go, I dont wanna pay for some stupid messages that I didn't sign up for!!!
You still get charged for reciving them whether if you open it or not.. I thought Bell gives you free recieving text? but sending text cost money? I But that sucks, I get random phone calls from people..and Im also with Bell. I have a feeling they give reuse old phone numbers.
^^OMG..reusing numbers? urgh...omg... my cell seems to be the same as sears furniture line...and some people doesnt know how to dial the connection...they fone my cell...and everyday i have some people asking me about furniture...urgh..and it seems that my cell fone is 1 number away from a book store company...so random people fone me everyday...and now...if i see that the number is a number i dunt reconize that i just dunt recive it...its wasting money...
heh. sorry, didn't know. i'm living in this age of technology and i don't own a cell phone. yeah, i know. anyways, that's what my brother told me, about the text message, so idk.
Those horoscope thing, I heard about them. They send you messages and reverse charge them, you better find a way to unsubscribe it.
whenever ur bored and someone calls about a furniture, answer it and be hella rude to them. or do that thing that they did at the telemarketing thread. i would say try to change ur number if it gets hella annoying
Did you subscribe to some sort of website? If not, call your service provider to block those messages.
its alright, i guess it's different for providers. Recieving text messaging is free for me unless its one of those spam things.
Yea this happened to me...TWICE in class =.=;;; my cell phone got confiscated but i got it back XD and now my text message sound is vibrate XD and yea block the messages.
Haha that's funny but yeah it sucks, i don't have a text service too, so receiving text messages just cost me extra money too...
Nope, I don't put my number unless it one of those secure website thingys that you can trust. Noo, I get free receiving and 100 free outgoing Text, sorry, should have been more clear. So they probably are charging me for those stupid spam mail!!! thanks for all the replies! I'm gonna try texting "stop" to them and see what happens......but I can't now because I deleted the last message it sent me. Now I don't have the number, lol. Gotta wait for them to text me again.
My Phones a LG and I'm with Bell. So around 1 pm i got a text message from them again saying something about partners and money or something, so I pressed reply and texted "Stop" back to that number and I AM NOW UNSUBSCRIBED!!! It worked, lol. I'm freee noww! LOL. Thanks for all your help everyone. Looks like texting stop works in every country. =)
Well..i would say the text msgs arnt as much as u will get in HK...they dunt cost u money...except for the obne u apply but u get like 5 within a day...
