Welcome to the Community @Angiecell

If you can give our Customer Service Team a quick call, they are able to put various blocks to stop any future charges.

Many thanks,

Lee

**UPDATE**

Applying a premium rate bar to the account will stop you subscribing to any new subscriptions in future.

If a subscription is already active, the best action would be to contact our customer care team who will be able to give details of the subscription and how this can be cancelled.

Our Third Party help page also gives advice on how to search for subscriptions that show on your bill.

You can add and remove the premium rate bar in your My EE.

Select Manage Device - Call abroad and premium rate and turn On/Off.

The text service is now active too to text BAR or UNBAR to 150
