This must be a mistake! Someone was just telling me about them going on the Auto Trader website and sent 9 txt messages to their mobile with details about cars, just text no pics and they have been billed for 9 text messages at £39 a time. :eek2: :eek2:

    No way. Gutted. And I moan about my 90quid phone bill where I get 500 free messages and 500 free texts for £15. He must be going mad.

    I pay 0£ when calling - I have around 30 minutes per month or something.

    Just that my phone isn't working. :crying:

    I'd get onto them. Me thinks he's been screwed. When I do it says I will be charged between 13p and 25p depending on my network. I haven't actually gone through with it though just incase I get stung for £39.

    Sounds like an error to me, or he's ticked the wrong box and is on the wrong thing.

    Either way, he should complain to Auto Trader and to ICSTIS.
