I send msg to 193333 to STOP and these are ignored. I run a business and am not in a position to canx my number as business will be lost, but why should I have to go to that extreme? Outrageous. just recently I txt msg for a special ring tone, BIG MISTAKE, almost every day for the last month and a total of $70 laterI have been receiving msgs and been charged $4.50 each time.

Same thing happens, phone rings for one or two rings and then comes up missed call. If I am lucky enough to pick up straight away, they hang up. I am wondering if this is computer generated. They have been ringing my phone for ages and roughly between 5 & 7 pm. Phone number is 4152 563 1630. Strange number, and I won't return the call. I also have an Optus phone starting with 0402. Beware. Hi
