Never used "premium" services. But, I have heard of a number of people being caught out by them. I think that they need to be strictly regulated.

i think they r a law unto themselves, and an industry supervising itself is always fraught with such. i think they must just b banned, although those subscribing 2 such must also hold themselves to blame...
