Hi,

I have a PAYG Virgin phone (had this number for about twenty years). Very happy with it. Every week I receive a message from Virgin Media, telling me that I can get free texts and 30 mins of calls all weekend, if I top up with £10. I don't really mind these messages, as I also get alerts if my balance goes low and I find these balance alerts very handy; so I've never tried to stop the alerts (as I would imagine it's all or nothing). However, tonight at 11 pm my phone went off, waking my wife and worrying her; as I never normally get a call that late at night. It was just the "free texts" offer. I don't want this to happen again. How can I stop these alerts????

Thank you.

So will I be charged for sending "NO" to 80159?

 

Sounds like a premium rate number to me

I don't think I was charged, or if I was, it would have only been a few pence (GB Sterling). I do not currently use Virgin mobile.
