70710 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 70710 👆 is reported as a premium rate number used for donations to BBC Children in Need, often charging £10 per text. Many users say the charges appear unexpectedly on bills without clear explanation, leading to confusion and suspicion of scams. The texts are typically to a short code for charity, but the billing description isn’t always clear to customers. Some mention limits on how often you can donate via text from the same mobile per day. This service is for UK mobiles only and there may be extra charges if used abroad. Several find the lack of transparency frustrating, as the charity name doesn’t always show on bills, just the short code, making it hard to identify.

My bill this month was £40 more than usual, which was a shock. I called O2 to figure out what was going on and they told me it was because someone sent 4 premium texts, each £10, to Children in Need. If they had just shown that clearly on the bill, I’d have realised straight away! Honestly, it’s crazy they don’t make it obvious.

If you send donations via text to 70710, you can only do it up to three times in one day from the same phone number (from midnight to midnight). Trying to send more than 3 texts with the same keyword on that day won’t result in another £10 donation to BBC Children in Need. You’ll still get charged your usual network fee, but you won’t be charged the £10 for the confirmation message and the extra texts won’t actually count as donations. Just to be clear, this limit applies to texts with the same keyword sent to the same short number.

oh, you’re right actually, sorry for the mix-up. I just assumed it was a scam at first. Would have been way better if O2 put something like “children in need” on the bill instead of just showing 70710, which most people have no clue about.

yeah, these are premium rate texts (children’s bbc donations) and they cost £1, £5 or £10 each, plus whatever your usual network charges are depending on your provider. you can only send these from a uk mobile, so it doesn’t cover mobiles from the channel islands or isle of man. if you’re abroad and use this service on a uk mobile, you might get hit with extra fees from your network. you can also make donations anytime online at bbc[###][###]/pudsey.

I noticed this number twice on my O2 bill, each time charging me £10. I have no clue what it is and I’m pretty sure I didn’t call it. Does anyone know what this might be about?
