Letter: Unsolicited txts

Published 27 April 2002

From Mike King

I read with interest your story about being charged for a text message when you have not subscribed to a service or requested the message (Feedback, 6 April).

If companies such as Vodafone charged or demanded payment for unsolicited text messages, in Britain this would surely amount to a criminal offence under the Unsolicited Goods and Services Act 1971. I would suggest readers complain to their local Trading Standards Office.
