Telephone & Mailing preference service

[Naomi]

A while back we were discussing the TPS (Telephone Preference Service) nad the MPS (mailing Preference Service) well today I received an unsolicited SMS on my mobile and after a very polite adn helpful conversation I had with Orange, my mobile Service Provider I found out that you can register your mobiles for the TPS which is something I didn;t know. So both mine & Oh's mobiles are now registered.

I have also registered with the Mailing Preference Service, well registered the surnames of the people who lived here 4 years ago and we are still getting mail for them

Hopefully the amount of junk mail coming through my door will start to slim down a bit

I didn't know you could get SMS messages stopped. That'll be useful - I'll be speaking with O2 about that!!

You can do this mailing thingy online cant you??

[Naomi]

Yes it can all be done online and it's a FREE, that's the bit I like, I love that word FREE

The address is www.tpsonline.org.uk just go on there and register the mobile number/s. It only stops unsolicited/cold calling SMS from companies. The SMS I had was asking me to upgrade my current phone to another Orange phone cos I'd had my phone for 10months, yeah right only had my new phone in November

if you want to stop the sms from o2 then you text them back on the same number stop and they should stop
