Hello guys, I took some IQ test online, and this website is always sending messages in my cellphone everyday and charges .25cents in my load. How am I going to stop this?
I don't know if this query fits here, kindly move to appropriate forum.

Hello Daisies,

Here's two links that might help you out, you should be able to block the website out.

How to Block Mobile Phone Spam

If you are still having trouble I would call and ask for help with the cellphone company.

lol daisies1062, I think I know what you mean. The other day I clicked on an IQ test ad from a blog site, took the test and before giving me the result, the page asked for my mobile number so they can send the code for me to confirm. I did enter my mobile number and received the code. However, I did not go back to confirm that's why I wasn't flooded with sms and wasn't charged.

You are very, very cruel laugher, Chris)

AS for the problem, try to disable this by the help of you operator. Or change the number... and never share it everywhere.

BTW, what was shown by the IQ test?

I can relate to this, I had a similar experience where I did input my number so I can verify it with a code and I got flooded by daily trivia's, jokes, whatsoever is in their system. They charged me every time, but somehow I managed to get the code to send to the number that has been sending me on how to make it stop.

Complaint it to them, and tell them that you are no more interested in paying.
