Re: How do i find the owner of this mobile tel no?
Thanks Snikpoh. I have tried what you suggest.
When I go to the text message I have the choice to 'reply' or 'more'.
Under the choice 'more' I have Call, forward, details, save, delete. There are no other choices.
Am I looking in the wrong place? I look on the received calls list and the numbers that were texts are not listed, so I cannot look at it that way.
I am not very quick with anything on mobiles other than phoning and texting, I have been all through the owner instruction manual without any luck.
If I receive these texts when out of the country will I get charged to receive them? Sometimes I get 3 in a day!

The easiest route is to go to the message and "SAVE" the number under some suitable name (SPAM?). Then with this saved number, you have more options as per my previous post.

I´ve just had a look on another forum because I remember this happening to someone else. What she says is to try texting back BAJA to the number you are receiving the text from. It worked for her but for a different company. You never know, and it´s worth a try.
Please let us know how you get on.

Thanks everyone - still no luck.
I have had 3 messages yesterday and today. All so called 'publicidad' from Movistar.
I tried to send messages back, all the numbers failed.
224405
22500
22351111
I decided to phone them. I got the voice message "the number you dialled has not been assigned to a customer yet"
I was thinking it would be good to be able to block all numbers beginning '22' but then realised I would not get the message reminding me to top up the phone as that comes on 22333.
I have just thought - how does anyone take up any of the offers if they can't reply?

You can unlock the phone if you have to.
Instructions are on the net.
Much easier and no hassle.
