I checked my account online and I found out that I was charged for a message that I received! When I received the text message, i didn't open it to see what's in. All I could see was that it included a "@" symbol and the words " Hey there :> ". Most obvious it was a WAP link. I got charged 25p for this text just by receiving it!

The number in bold is the sender. It is quite frustrating to get charged for something I didn't ask for. And if you think that I gave my mobile online (webpage), then NO as I am quite careful with this kind of things.

Any idea what it's all about?
