Unwanted texts

[MattsClio]

My girlfriend keeps getting 'healthy eating' texts from 63333. Anybody know how to stop them? Already tried replying with STOP, but then they sent through 6 in the last hour or so. Any help would be greatly appreciated

you could try this - http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/archive/Oftel/consumer/advice/faqs/prvfaq8.htm

It's a long list of FAQ for them but, it basically says that you have a right as a consumer to 'opt out' of unsolicited text/sms messages from advertisement companies.
Get in touch with Oftel as they should be able to help you out on this.

The most effective way is to call the customer helpline for them to cancel it. In my experience STOP never works.
