Hi. I was stupid enough to register for a tv competition. I tried the getout clause immediately but keep getting sent stupid questions (from 60555) which cost me 50p per time (about three per week).
Annoying to say the least.
Anyone had same and know how to stop it?
Cheers

Reply to the same number with the word "stop" or if that doesnt work then the word "unsubscribe"

Thanks. Tried 'stop' so will try the latter.
Yes! Thanks a lot.

I also get those damn texts. I tried "unsubscribe", and it didn't work. What should I do?

Is there a phone number for the competition organisers?

I had to phone my network and they gave me a number to call.

I had the same problem I found buying a new SIM Card off the Vodaphone website for £3.00 solved the problem.

reply to text with JUST the words:

"STOP ALL"

(minus the quotes)

It worked for me.
