BE WARNED... SCAM ALERT....
There are quite a few sites out there that offer SMS downloads to your mobile phone, and WAP. This is not the case.... These sites exist to charge you £1.50, £2.50 or more for a non existant service. The give you a code to enter on your phone, and a number, send your SMS, and you get 3 reply's, then they have your number, and send you 3 SMS messages at the charge, only the last message is always the one which tells you the code does not exist anymore (3 minutes after you send the SMS). YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED. You will receive the SMS messages and there is no way to stop them, other than getting your number changed (Lots of bother there). There is no watchdog, there is no policing of this service. BE WARNED.
