Hi, just checked my Mobile account after coming back from abroad. Found 2 separate 0.30p charges against number 7726. Any ideas?

Not sure if it helps but Ofcom website says

"7726 is a number that most mobile customers using UK networks can text to report unwanted SMS messages or phone calls on a mobile. The number ‘7726’ was chosen because it spells ‘SPAM’ on an alphanumeric phone keypad – that’s a handy way of remembering it."

7726 is a number that you can use to report spam texts although no doubt chargable when abroad.

Just not sure as to why there is a charge!

The "no charge" will only apply when in the UK not when abroad.
