BULL!!! This has proved to be a major problem for my new Samsung D900. I have just received my first bill after updating my Virgin Contract phone to a D900. I thought it was really cool until I got the bill. I had some strange "text received" bills for £4.50. TWO of which were received in the same minute! When I contacted Virgin, they were able to trace the charges back to...... Youve guessed it! BULLGUARD. At no time am I AWARE that I subscribed to their stuff. In fact I had never heared of it until I traced them on the internet. I have no choice but to pay the bill (over £12 in 10 mins) but BEWARE!!!!! If I have ben playing around with my new cool phone and incurred charges that I was unaware of then other people have clearly done the same. It is ironic that the D900 apears at the top of the advert of this site. I guess that the phone is preprogramed with text numbers that - at the press of a button_ some unknowing person like myself is getting ripped off with something they did not want- did not need- and can do absolutely nothing about!!!
so BEWARE if you have a SAMSUNG D900 because one press of a button could have a catastrophic effect on your phone bill- all for nothing! WHAT A LOAD OF BULL
