The TPS can accept the registration of mobile telephone numbers, however it is important to note that this will prevent the receipt of marketing voice calls but not SMS (text) messages. If you wish to stop receiving SMS marketing messages, please send an 'opt-out' request to the company involved.
As TPS registration only prevents marketing calls, organisations will still be able to call you for the purposes of genuine market research.

Just a couple of points to ask from the text I have copied above from the TPS site.
Regarding the part where it mentions about the opt-out request, isn't there also a scam when you text back as per their request, I had heard you could be charged for doing so, apologies if this is incorrect.
Swoop101, Do you ever get the odd SMS spam text and marketing call since you have registered, or have the all stopped completely?
