ending unwanted services
If you’re receiving spam from one company or source and want to stop it, there are a couple of ways of going about it.
Details on how to cancel a service are often contained in the message. If not, try finding the sender’s contact information on the Internet or through directory enquiries. Then contact them directly to remove your number from their marketing list.
If you’re receiving text messages from a short code for a service you subscribed to but now want to end, check their instructions. Often, simply texting ‘STOP’ will work. If you don’t have their details, try calling Orange customer services. They might be able to give you their contact details.
