The company that billed your phone is called Mobile Messenger. They have another 800 number that puts you directly through to a live agent, which is 1-800-416-6129.

You can ask them to explain what this is and why you were billed and you can also request that they refund you for any charges. They seem to be helpful.

Cheers!

I would say yes! Go to http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm and file a complaint. It can’t hurt.
I hope you called Sprint too and got them to reverse the charges.

It seems you might have a couple of problems here: stopping the charges from repeating, getting rid of the subscription or subscriptions and getting a refund for what you didn’t buy or want or use. Best wishes!

Running into the same thing currently on my sprint bill on my wifes phone. I have at least 4 charges currently with 2 in one month-they are getting greedy. Anyone know contacts to this company so I may attempte to contact. Also; is this an FCC issue?

Yes, when I first got the message regarding the IQ test, there was a confusing notice telling me something about a subscription to which I immediately texted this stop message. The response to that was that I had no subscriptions… same as when I unsubscribed by phone. They then went ahead and charged me for the non subscription which I had forgotten all about until the bill arrived.

Thanks for reading my lament and responding! Hope you have not had to learn this lesson the hard way too.

Those ads with the IQ test challenges are just so enticing. Every time I see one now I remember my lesson

If you text STOP to 44999 that will unsubscribe you.
