    First off this is not a Premium number, it is a certain Poker Room in Tallaght, ah feck it, its the one in the Square.

    Well basically I keep getting at least 4 messages a week, I used to just ignore them, then tonight I received another one, then another, etc. I basically ended up getting it 6 times.
    I decided enough was enough, then so tried texting "Stop" back as you do, but then they starting coming back again (and more regularly). So I wrote back again telling them to "f**k of texting me or I'm going to the Gardai".
    After i sent that, i got at least another 20 messages, only this time they were from 6 different numbers. I only presume i have been added to all their mailing lists now, as all the numbers seem to be text only lines as i can't get through to them if i call them.

    Anybody any ideas what to do here, (I have emailed Meteor about it)??

    Forward all texts to Meteor via 50002. This is their number for reporting spam messages. I did this with all the spam texts I received and I don't get them any more. (BTW - thank you Meteor). I honestly think that replying "STOP" is letting them know you are alive and available for spamming.

    Contact Regtel who are the independent regulator for premium rate communications.
