to complete the transaction reply with **** you will be billed £10 then has hotline number

I have several of these number turn up on my Orange fone bill!! anyone know how we can report it and who to?

any idea what site this number is from?

they send u texts saying if you reply you will be charged, if you just delete it they still charge you £10, the company is called Zong, they tell your mobile co. that you have made an off the handset purchse, payment for goods.  Tel: 0870 7370030 Mon-Fri email premium.support@echosms.net and you just might be able to get your money back, I need to get £391!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same on my phone bill, £228. I have no idea who it is and how to get my money back. o2 say I recieved the texts but my phone shows nothing. If anyone can help please let me know. :(

had exactly the same on my daughters phone. Orange say you have to text to get the service. I have no texts showing on the phone. Noticed this only after the account was blocked with £700 of texts. Will try to call Zong this morning.

just noticed the calls on my mobile account

same thing happening here. received a £153 bill. any idea how to stop this or should i just close my o2

Got stung t the amount of £160.00 from this number also got stung for £60.00 from number 78660 no idea how it happened spoke to T-mobile they said i must of ordered something that is how they got my number very unhappy so i  got the numbers blocked on my phone now i cannot buy any apps for my i phone just gets worse .really pis--- off.

Got a text earlier today from this number. It read pretty much the same as the one "eck c" got. Came on here to check it out and saw that some people had been billed extortionate amounts so I got in contact with T-Mobile customer support who say that they have sorted it. I'd definitely recommend calling your mobile operator as soon as you get a message from this number.

This number has been appearing on my disabled daughter's account with Orange.  I have a joint account with Orange for her phone and mine so more than £700 has been deducted from my bank account!  I can't afford this and am angry that whatever company this is can take advantage of my daughter in this way.  I hope that there is some way of getting the money back but doubt it.

no1 is taking advantage of u guys, and after reading all these messages it seems all  of you have children, after seeing this i done my research and found out that the charges made to my account were from facebook games and facebook credits. as iv seen most of you have children im guessin this is the reason for your charges as well. maybe you didnt reply yes to the message but all it takes is 1 of your children to pick ur phone up and send that 3 letter word, which would take seconds. and boom! ur charged £10.
the bad thing is once they have done it once on your phone you will no longer need to reply YES  it will be automaticly deducted from your account....

on the other hand if you child has their own mobile and you pay the bill then get in touch with your service provider and have the number blocked so they cannot do this. its very easy to make payment over mobiles on facebook and facebook games and no need 2 b 18 for a credit or debit card.

either way i think you will find your children are to blame.

hope this helps guys

Agree with Jason.  £262.00 over 2 months spent by my 12yr old, buying credits for an online game!!  Didn't think she would have the front to do it, but it's too easy for them..............check your bills!!

hi i lost my phone last night and someone has used this premium facility from no 78810. and now i have a bill of £60 in 3 hr. is it possible that i call this premium service provider and get rid of this amount...

please speak to your service provider. they can wave your amount. i complained this to orange and they have done this to me. thanks to orange

i have children that are 6,8 and 10 yes they go on my facebook to play games but they sure as hell wouldn't have been able to spend 290 pounds (240 pounds through paypal and 40 pounds through one of these messages) in less than 24 hours without me noticing, jesus christ you can't even have any fun anymore without someone thinking that they have the right to ruin it

I have just learnt that my son has been getting text and ended up with a whapping bill of £400.00 got six text from this company no name text number 78810 in 5minutes.
they send u texts saying if you reply you will be charged, if you just delete it they still charge you £10, the company is called Zong, they tell your mobile co. that you have made an off the handset purchse, payment for goods. O2 not that helpful in that they say our fault for answering the text tried the text number and stop but still they come rolling in. I have now changed my number and will be cancelling my contract to do pay as you go less hastle.

didyou get you money back?
