On Grumbletext.. "...urgent message waiting for you"- The 08 number itself is simply a national rate number - about 10p a minute, but not technically premium rate, although it does earn about 2p a minute for the owner. However, it's a recorded message which tells you to call a premium rate line, and there's about a minutes silence at the end of the message before it tells you the charges. I strongly suspect this would be in breach of ICSTIS regs Grumbletext, UK consumer complaints about "...urgent message waiting for you" - post your opinions, complaints, comments online or via SMS about "...urgent message waiting for you" "...urgent message waiting for you" complaint, "...urgent message waiting for you" review, "...urgent message waiting for you" opinion, "...urgent message waiting for you" consumer review, "...urgent message waiting for you" consumer complaint, "...urgent message waiting for you" customer complaint, "...urgent message waiting for you" consumer opinion, "...urgent message waiting for you" customer opinion, Grumbletext

junk txt with 08 numbers ï¿½ ï¿½

for all you who have received "urgent message received please call 08712402934" etc, the ICSTIS are not able ( they say ) to investigate abuses of numbers starting '08' - which could be why there has been the switch from 09 numbers. Anyone know who would handle these?

Re "Another URGENT message" posted by okonski2 at 21:23 01/07/04 ... I got two of these messages today - 0871 is a premium rate number - don't ring it. If it was really that urgent and important, and they have your number, they would surely ring and speak to you - don't get caught out.

Re "Another URGENT message" posted by okonski2 at 21:23 01/07/04 ... It appears to be random sequential - as I have 3 mobiles with adjacent numbers, and they wereall hiy within minites. Fortunately, all those numbers were registered with the TPS refusing to accept spam SMS, so a formal complaint has been launched that they are in breach of the regulations. I suggest you contact TPS and request your number is added to the list.
