88222

Free text messages offer and free hot babes

just like all of you all i have the same, how do we block this 88222 network 3 is no help some one help,,

I also got stung with texts from this company and my service provider (O2) was not helpfull in any way.   They gave me an 0845 number to call (more charges with the 0845 number) and after listening to the automated messages I finally got a number to call them for a refund.   If you call 01179 118350 (be persistant as sometimes it goes to a T Mobile voicemail) they will ask you for your mobile number and they will give you a refund.   I was only "stung" once for £1.50 but they are going to send me £5 for the inconvenience (so they say).

They could not tell me how I got on their list and I am certain that I have never subscribed but I believe they just buy numbers and stick your number in their database, they then send you a free message telling you "you are subscribed to ............., text stop to 88222 to opt out.  

Opt out at that point as even if you ignore the text, the next one you are sent (normally the day after)will cost £1.50 and so on and so on!!

Keep getting these extremely annoying messages from 88222 (Mobile andEmail Top Tones) informing me I will charged £1.50 per month for this service. I did not request this service, have tried sending message to 88222 and receive message saying that my request to terminate has been registered but 30 secs later I get another message stating that I am now registered with this service. Tried ringing the landline but how conveniently 'All our lines are busy

88222 keeps texting my wifes telephone number which I pay for as I have THREE mobile telephones on my contract. My wife is concerned as the message reads that "YOU HAVE SUBSCRIBED TO THIS SERVICE". My wife panics with this sort of contact due to prvious incidents which turned out to be genuinely nasty and violent.

I keep getting FreeMSG: You are subscribed to Mobile and Emails Top Tones for £1.50p / month. 16+ Help?01179118350. Text STOP to 88222 to stop.
I have never subscribed, and I am not being charged £1.50. So I don't want to text STOP - if I do does this cost me?

Orange just told me that 88222 is not a subscription service. They cannot bar the number for me but gave me a helpline number to call (open monday to Fri) DO NOT CALL 01179118350 number the text message gives you. The helpline number is an 0845 number call your service Provider for advice!! Dont sed any texts or calls till you have.

i recieved text from this number and text stop , i then recieved one say it had been stopped , but then recieved another one so texted stop again , but after that i recieved a further 6 messages all within a minute . so i rang my service provider and the messages are from a subscriber called WIN and if you text stop to them they charge you the 1.50 so basically just delete the message when you recieve it i have been told , unless i recieve any more texts from them in future !!!

hi,
did you find a way to deal with this nuisance scam? i ask because i have been hit with exactly the same thing. In the past hour alone i've had 10 messages. Orange- my network provider, are about as much use as a chocolate teapot!

just got the same msg's they got my number from STA travel, who have put my number on a mailing list. they are from a wen site called incentvated.
they web adress is www.incentivated.com. it list some of the companys they deal with.

hope this helps

Just spoke with Orange and they have given me this number to ring, its automated but should do the trick.
08451309911

Ive had 10 messages in the last hour, any charges will be reimbursed by this company who send them, they have to by the letter of the law

Hope this helps

thanks for your reply-i've had a look abut dont recognise any that i would have readily given my details to. My best guess is that my phone provider it's self has passed it on.

My husband spoke to orange because the contract is in his name. They said to reply with stop all, which triggered another 6 messages coming through. They gave an 0845 number to ring on Monday, they should tell me where they got the number from and offer to re-emburse but i'm not holding my breath. Think i may ring orange back and demand that my number gets changed.

Seems starnge that we all have the same problem and the same mobile phone provider dont you think?

Ring the number now that they gave you, you can stop the message on the 0845 number out of office hours. Since i have done this all is well and peacefull in our household

Incidently are we all using iPhones, this could be the route one cause of our problems

I had had previous text but didnt take any notice as i thought that when you rang the quoted number you would land yourself with a charge but then tonight have had 9 texts from that number have rung orange but they said that they cant stop them and I had to send STOP ALL (in capitals) have done that and also put in a formal complaint with http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/output/default.aspx


Message to Graham check your last and next bill you will pay a charge of £1.50 I was quite shocked to find it on my bill for an unsolicited service.

I am not using an Iphone just an old samsung i have had for three years

I got 6 of these messages tonight saying freemsg and something about toptones. Have not replied stop in case that triggers more. I am on vodafone using blackberry. Security firewall now enabled to block sms messages that are not from my contacts, this has blocked 3 more. Weird that they all came today and I definitely haven't entered any comps. Will call the helpline and vodafone to find out what to do. Its ridiculous. Only comps I ever enter are itv ones. That worries me as they've had problems in the past with texts and calls for comps.

mum had just had a message from this number,well should i say 6 one after another saying she has subscribed to some tone/game service ... she hadnt i text STOP bk and have had no more so far
