Hi, my 10 year old son keeps getting texts about sport from the number 177012000, each time this cost him 10p, ive tried texting stop to the number but it fails to send, i have no idea how hes done it or how to stop it, his credit is running out fast, only thing i can do is buy a new simm card anyone have any ideas?
thanks

Have you tried ringing the network provider, it's usually free if you call on the actual mobile. Maybe they can block that number??

Just had the same (10 messages within an hour). Orange customer sevices (450) advised sending
SPORT OFF
to 177
Seems to have worked.
