this number was called unsolicited by my iPhone direct from the high scores page of the Bubblewrap app - a game download. The number was called a second time the next time that I used the app, confirming my suspicion that the call in generated by the app. A brief message stated that the call will cost £1:50 per minute.

Apple,O2 and their 'app' clients are laughing all the way to the bank

I cropped up on this issue by someone forwarding it to me from the MSE forums. I thus forwarded this link onto Register, and we have a story - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/27/iphone_admob/

Hopefully this is now resolved as the AdMob company has updated the software.
