Unsolicited text message

I have just received a text offering 20% off Bike Radar Live in July. I don't remember agreeing to receive unsolicited texts and I don't want them. How do I switch this facility off?

I think you usually have text back with "STOP" but not sure if this is always the case?

The txt message is from MBUK not bike radar. The txt reads

From MBUK
Free Msg> Save 20%! BikeRadar Live 10-11 July. World's best pro-riders,dual slalom, dirt jump & stund displays + free camping ! Call 0871 230 1085 quote SM08

I take that to be from Mountain Bike Uk to which im a subscriber to. I dont remember agreeing to receive txt messages from them tho !

You shouldnt have to txt anything back as if you do you WILL be charged for that txt you send, it could cost you a good few quid too !

Can anyone help or advise on how to remove my mobile number from where-ever, or who-ever, has access to it so I don't receive any more of these ****ing texts? Any help gratefully received.

You could always txt "stop" but you may be charged. You could go to the website and see if there is a way of removing your number.

I can't even find their website. Which is why I'm on here asking for help.

This text message went out to readers of MBUK who have subscribed or entered a competition via text message and agreed to the t&cs by doing so.

If they don’t want to receive any future messages from us/MBUK they need to reply ‘Stop’ to the message. They pay the cost of a standard text message.
