We are a registered Charity and our answer machine was full of messages from this number – blank text messages.

I have now had 3 calls from the number saying there are blank text messages and to phone the number for options.

I did this (to try to gleam who is behind it) adn it was a T mobile answer machine.

Damn phone rang 8 times in 20 minutes with the Text message. I Did 1471 got the number and after 8 bloody times rang it back…Its an auto system of some sort and you have the option to change it to stop (Thankfully) BUT I read somewhere it costs you £3 odd to do this….I call it harrassment when it rings so often! But not sure what to do about it now I’ve stopped it.

A friend received a malicious call about me made via this number. How do I go about tracking down the originator? Rob

Yep it’s a Tmobile or VirginMobile service where someone tries to send a text to a land line and it cannot accept it or your answer phone kicks in I guess…. Either the person sending the text has done so to your number in error OR it is someone trying to get you to pick up the message as part of a scam to call another number. In my opinion the service is more trouble than it is worth and should be stopped….

I’m a huge fan of this service, the voice texts i get from my friend John are hilarious, and i don’t use a mobilephone so it’s a good way to pick up messages/.

Got a ‘text’ message from Bryan Carter solicitors regarding a debt. They keep sending me texts. Im not going to call them, they can continue to waste their money.
