your best get is to get onto vodafone or 02 or whatever network you are on and ask them can they do it as there is no physical way via the phone to do it.

thanks lads thats what i thought

The reason i ask is it about marketers is that we are marketers and people tend to block our messages rather than unsubscribing. This costs us money as we don't know that the messages were rejected and pay for the messafge.

Legitimate marketers operate under the terms of the Data Protection Act (1988) and should remove your number asap on request. If they don't do this fúck them.

How do you block marketers texts ?
Same way?

Best way would be to ring them and quote the Data Protection Act and put the ****s up them (this bit is just for a laugh) then ring O2 or Voda.

We use not have access to them phone that our texts where coming into for voice calls. Our telephone company used to get funny calls from people when we put numbers in wrong. Farmers in kerry ringing from the tractor to ask why they are getting texts about nite clubs in Dublin
