Vodafone call bar message?

Some info which may be of interest...

I received a message on my mobile from Vodafone yesterday telling me that they intended to remove the bar on my phone from calling international and premium rate numbers. It said if I didn't want this bar removed, I should text the reply "BAR" to this message before 12/8/10.

Well I didn't want this bar lifted so I thought I would send the reply. Surprised ti find there was no option to 'reply' in the menu! Other options were there but no reply!

So I've just rung Voda customer service and the nice chap called Ahmed has just tol me that I can't do anything to stop this and must ring them again on the activation date to stop it!

Big con.
