Of the many actions you can take, start with asking your telecommunications provider to put a \u2018bar\u2019 on Premium Services. This means that you can not make future use of any of these services.<\/p>\n

Often, barring doesn\u2019t stop existing services. It only prevents actions such as signing\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>up to, or using, new Premium Services.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure that you Cancel existing subscriptions the correct way by sending \u201cStop\u201d to the short code or by calling the service\u2019s Help Desk.<\/p>\n

When barring, make sure to explicitly mention that you\u2019d like to bar Premium SMS, Premium Voice Services and\/or Carrier Direct Billing.<\/p>\n

If you just mention Premium SMS, only Premium SMS will be barred, and not the other billing methods. The latter has been reported to happen on the several networks in different countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
