    If there's one thing that really really p*sses me off it's spam text messages.

    usually I do a search and ring the sending company and let them know how unhappy I am to hear from them and tellthem that I really really really do not want their services. Unfortunately I appear to have hit a bit of a dead end on the latest culprit:

    message:
    "Make International calls at a local rate. Call from a landline via access number: 1890 943 123 (local rate) blah blah blah www.budgetcom.ie"

    I checked the website: only contact details are an email form and a FAQ.

    A whois eventually turned up:

    Rights restricted by copyright; http://www.domainregistry.ie/copyright.html
    % Do not remove this notice

    domain: budgetcom.ie
    descr: Telediscount BV
    descr: BODY CORPORATE (LTD,PLC,COMPANY)
    descr: Discretionary Name
    admin-c: AAO515-IEDR
    tech-c: TDI2-IEDR
    nserver: NS.IRISHDOMAINS.NET

    nic-hdl: AAO515-IEDR
    source: IEDR

    person: Technical Dept. Irish Domains Ltd
    nic-hdl: TDI2-IEDR
    source: IEDR


    But no contact details. Telediscount BV is a Norwegian company as far as I can tell and Irish Domains Ltd. will not give me any contact details.

    Now, I dont want to report the spam to the guards or anything. I just want this budgetcom company to know that I am not happy and tell them not to do it again.

    can anyone help with a contact number?

    Let the Data Protection Commissioner weed them out. The Data Protection people are actively targeting Mobile Spam at present I hear.

    See Here for starters and lodge a formal complaint, using the information you have gathered on the culprit of course. You will get nothing complaining to the spammers, as always.
