I hate the ones where they call you but it only rings once you dont have any chance of answering! They do this on purpose so you call back but it costs you alot of money! I did it! I got this missed call twice and I thought I never heard it ring I rang it back this guy starting talking saying sorry we missed you I then ended up with a bill for 4 pounds just for couple of minutes on the phone!

You fell for that one  [laughing] [laughing] [laughing] i have had a few of them but i guessed what they were and phoned Vodafone to complain. They knew all about them and said yes if you ring them you will be charged loads of money

It's not rocket science - if the number is non-geographical, then don't call it back. Non-geo numbers are easy to spot, and no customer would be ringing you from one, so it's not someone you need to speak to.

Yeah I know but when you just see 1 or 2 missed called on your phone you just ring it back well I did any way! Dont really bother looking quick glance and if a name comes up if not then find out who it is.  Now I do check the numbers before I ring them back!

i never been to f2go either but still get em, they share info

Maybe you drive past one at the time?!    All I am sayin is I have only received one txt of them and I have driven past the company once!  So its got nothing to do with sharing infomation its about gettin your phone number as you go past.

Guys, this is targeted advertisement. It is paid for (or should be,) by the person/company. it works (something) like this:

All mobile providers know where you are according to your GPS. It is ALWAYS enabled. Shutting it "off", only means that they cannot share the GPS info with anyone. The provider however, can use it at will.

So......

When your GPS position matches whatever parameter was set, you get the message. It is highly unlikely that anyone jotted down the number from the side of your ride as you passed by. Nor is it likely that any information was exchanged between the parties,... at all.
When the bill comes, see who the sender's number belongs to. However this info can be 'spoofed' by the provider, as it might say that it was "Floor2go" who paid for the call, but you can pretty much be assured that they never actually placed it.

In it's own way, it works much the same as google's 'targeted' ads, or certain mailer's you get by post (snail mail).
