Hi all, just a quick heads up on this, I'm on O2 Contract and just got the following message:

I did a few checks and it appears that these "free" text messages have to be sent through a GPRS connection (which you pay for) and only if you pay a monthly fee!

I've used their site to opt-out of thier spam and have asked them where they got my number, especially since its registered with the TPS

Just thought I'd warn you all

My sister got exactly the same message, she went ahead and text them and lost £10 of her credit. Stupid

Avoid these like the plague. My advice, use the 500 - 1000 free texts your mobile network give you as part of your monthly allowance. Never text back to a number that starts with the word "Free".
