Go to the ICSTIS website and put in the number this message came from. It will tell you all about the company. If you haven't joined them then it is actually illegal for them to send you this message.

I just got 3 off them too from 82600.
I didn't sign up to anything either - did you get this sorted?
I've replied with "STOP" like that ICSTIS site says to but I'm going to get charged aren't I?
How can I get out of this please?

The ICSTIS (now called phonepayplus) website tells you what to do. Entering the number into their website will give you a contact address and phone number. You should call this number and request they stop and also ask for a refund. You should follow this up in writing. If they fail to refund you, then you can use the complaints procedure on the phonepayplus site.

I made an ICSTIS complaint in the summer, apparently I wasn't the only one and the company involved were fined £50,000. HA!

Phonepayplus (ICSTIS) can fine a company and stop them operating. But it relies on people complaining.
