89995

suzanne - how have you blocked the number? the only thing o2 could do for me was to block all premium numbers, apparently they can't block individual numbers!

recieved a text from this number and phone no longer works

My phone doesn't even have access to the internet so I definately haven't subscribed to anything but got two texts at £1.50 each. Have contacted Vodafone and asked them to stop all premium rate numbers.

Same here, unsolicited text received today and yesterday from bluestream, both were the 'what the f**k were you thinking....' text.  And to my work mobile not personal email.  

I have emailed the IT helpdesk at work to warn them that they need to speak to vodafone to see how to stop this.  I refuse to speak directly with bluestream to unsubscribe from a service I never subscribed to - but I have that luxury as I am not paying my account - how awful for the guys on personal pay monthly plans.

I have emailed a complaint to phone pay plus - asking them why these cowboys are allowed to operate, and that I expect resolution of my complaint or I will be writing to BBC watchdog!

I am most concerned as to how they got my details in first place.  Can anyone tell me the correct legal body to write to in complaint, as I wish this to be properly investigated and the persons responsible brought to account.

Thanks for this great email thread.

Conversation with Vodafone:
Can stop Premium text messages only for contract customers - so pay as you go have to suffer, call 191 and complain, please. Was not charged for the text, they recommend the following.

- text STOP back to the number
- call and/or email customer services help@blue-stream.com 0844 887 0432
- if all that fails get a new number/sim card

This is the wrong way round, I should not have to change because a company is breaking the law sending unsolicited text messages!

this number sent a very rude and very offence message to my mobile i havent signed up to the site at all as the txt came to my buisness mobile so i think someone should be looking into this 89995 number and yes i was charged as well what offend me most was the fact they used the f word

just to add to my last posting my wife has just tried to google 89995 and its a very rude porn site a movie came up on the screen showing a girl and guy having sex its called the [***] bank so beaware people , sorry to be so open but we do need to know whos tapping into our phones il be sending emails to my local mp and also to mr cameron him self

received two messages from these people so far, i have never requested anything from these people dont even know how they got my number, seems like a big scam but i dont know if my mobile account has been charged yet

To phonepayplus.org.uk:

You can see the history of unhappy people throughout this discussion thread going back months, all of whom are saying that they did not initiate bluestream services in anyway - and I will bet that this has translated into a high number of formal complaints about them.

I'd love to know how many formal complaints you have received year to date about these guys.  
Can you explain to us, why on earth they are still operating?

Another thing - why on earth are you using this discussion thread to tell people that they need to contact bluestream as first point of action?  

Are you serious?  Or are you having a joke - on us, the innocent consumers who are getting ripped off and offended by bad language into the bargain?

Surely it is plain to see the blatant disregard that bluestream have for the law - both data protection legislation and the PECR Regs.  

I do hope that you're not yet another toothless and therefore pointless quango.

.

just ring the number to unsubscribe takes 30secs!

Errr .... not really!  If you had read this thread in full you would have seen the difficulty experienced in unsubscribing from this service.  And you miss the basic point, which is why should anyone have to unsubscribe from a perverted service which they never subscribed to in the first place.

You don't happen to work for Bluestream by any chance?

The only appropriate solution is for this company to be taken out of operation.

Rang the number to unsubscribe yesterday, got another text today :( what else can I do really can't afford a high bill. Tried to ring to spk to cust service and they not availible and mailbox full!

So I dnt remember giving my number out and porn not my sort of thing so Been looking through sms I text recently, I text stop to +447860021700 for laser eye surgery could it be because I text them???

Disgusting text - I want it STOPPED!

Hi Kristina - no way of knowing really and I doubt bluestream will tell you.  Best bet is to email the ICO to express your concerns as to how bluestream have got hold of your number and let them investigate your complaint.

Just tried the TPS and on the complaints page was:

Complaints
Please note unfortunately we are unable to deal with complaints relating to the receipt of unsolicited text messages, silent calls or fax tones down the telephone.

SO it doesn't look like they can help with 89995

I keep receiving messages from 89995 and am extremely unhappy about it, I have my phone set so that it does not connect to the internet. Can my phone provider stop these texts?

i just got a message from 89995, i need it to stop how can i do it ????
