Hi guys,

I'm turning to my saviours yet again!

I get spam by sms at least once a day. It's always from the same number and I don't know how to block it. I'm on T610 any suggestions?

It's not maliceous (um if you spell it like that) it's just spam and a bit of a pain. My sms notification beeps and it's just rubbish. I just hoped someone might know some way to block one particular number.

Hi Guys,

Just thought I post the answer to this problem incase someone else has the same. It was my stupid mistake (again)!

When I signed up for O2 email I had unwittingly ticked the box to forward to my mobile. Didn't even realise I'd done it but all the crap spam going to my O2 email was being forwarded by O2 which is why there was no "STOP" option on the spam and O2 were charging me for the privalidge!
