Are you Pay-As-U-Go or Contract? Check you're not being billed for receiving these messages. If you are - I'm afraid good luck to you, possibly try texting STOP to the number.

If you're not being billed, just delete them and hope they stop. But keep an eye on your bills / credit for the next couple of months.

Ok, just keep checking with Vodafone how much your bill is this month.

Only say this because it was on Watchdog last week of some firms just sending messages, and people being charged for them. Not much come back unfortunately at the end of the day - the company responsible doesn't seem to take much responsibility. :sad:
