It only seems to be the shortcode that gets the texts

I only get the texts after calling BS1 or GC, never BSxtra.

Is it legal for them to do that? Is there anything in the small print that says they can?
'Thanks for your call' = 'We just want some more money from you. We know it's stealing but we dress it up as all part of the ''service''.'

There's already a thread about connection charges here.

Argh absolutely blows! I'd much rather call Elite but sadly Daryl Morgans not on there!

This happened to me a few times until I did the 'stop' option, though like the others have said, not sure if I got clobbered as much as £2.50 per text.
On a side note the volume of utter sh*te that I had sent to my phone by them was pretty impressive; mostly adverts for checking out Jordan showing her minge getting out of a taxi it seemed. Hardly any of it had anything to do with BS.

jjay, could you PM us with the service(s) you have used and any of the channels you have rang/interacted with so we can investigate these charges for you
anyone else with a query please do the same, thanks

Just a warning to everyone.
Beware spam adult texts from a 61610 number. They will cost you £1.25 and come in pairs so you've lost £2.50 before you even get a chance to text STOP back.
I'm not saying they're from babestation but I don't use the phone for anything else adult-related other than babestation so I have to assume there's some connection which is why I'm posting the info in this section.

This number has no connection to us, could you PM us the phone number you used so we can see which services you used with us, and ensure that these messages didn't come from any of our service providers
