Cellorado www.celldorado.com

Cellorado has officially replied to my queries on how you can stop receiving their unbelievably expensive messages saying "there is no way to stop them whatsoever". The expensive messages/games/ring tones will NOT stop coming in whatever you do. Phone companies will NOT give you your money back. It is not happening to some people or some countries, there are thousands all over the world. Just google it a little bit and you will see what I mean.

Celldorado is known for being advertised on the net causing people problems with pop-ups etc.

Being as vague as possible on the nature of the service.

Using small print to give important info on the cost of the service, how to stop it, how often you will get it , is your phone even compatible etc.

No info on how to set up your phone to get the service, yet they still charge you for it even if you do not receive it.

The service doesn't stop when you send the message "stop" to the number provided, unless you send it in a new text message - so replying to any of their messages, wap messages or even their Info messages, with stop doesn't work.

When you do manage to send stop you still get what they call "pending messages" - this happens if you have a pay-as-you-go phone, and it's illegal.

They do not send, or very rarely send reminder messages - reminding you that you have a service with them and how to stop it etc. This is also illegal.

Please stay away from this website (www.celldorado.com).

They have charged me without me being aware, £175 n send me 50 texts a month, The number is now barred as far as I am concerned and I do not recommend Celldorado.com

We are boring types and don't do texts. Whether down to our 10 year old twin girls (denied any knowledge) or down to putting our mobile number on an TV competition website, my wife started getting texts out of the blue and just canceled them. One day her vodafone bill arrived and instead of £30 is was about £90, we phoned vodafone and I got someone at work to text stop. However due to the way bills are managed we got another £90 bill the month after and have an extra £20 coming on our next bill. Emailed these people who say they provided this "service in good faith". We though have paid well over £100 for something we never wanted as far as I am concerned.

My child has topped up her mobile 3 times within the last 2 weeks not knowing why the money kept disappearing! We had to contact o2 to find this out and then contact some place called zamano still got no were she was told not to top up for 2 weeks as that was how long it would take for the messages to be stopped. After looking at their web site it states you have to be 16 or over for to use this website. How did my 10 year old access it then? In my opinion my child is innocent, this in my opinion doesn't even know anything about it! I do not recommend celldorado.com.

My young daughter has just used Cellorado, and never received a ringtone despite being charged for 3. This was half the credit to her phone, which she had paid for herself from her pocket money. She was very upset to find out that she wasn't getting a free ringtone, like she was led to believe. As soon as we realised we stopped the 'subscription'

I do not recommend to enter your mobile number into any 'pop up' messages sent to your computer... it will cost you!

In my experience they seemed to argue they give u a free ringtone, but as far as I am aware they then take all of the money on your phone, I think its a huge wrip off and scam and would recommend to not put your number in!

If you receive any message regarding free ring tones, contact ur service provider eg. three , orange . get a details of company and cancelled it. Be warned cellorado.

I was charged £9 from messages they kept sending me when I asked for the free ring tone along with the fact it's only a call centre somewhere in the world and no hope of getting back your money!!

PLEASE BE WARNED! BE CAREFUL! Luckily I only had this much credit on my phone as they would have taken more.

Furthermore the email address they give you does not work. I hope this prevents others from this experience.
