The number in bold is the sender. It is quite frustrating to get charged for something I didn't ask for. And if you think that I gave my mobile online (webpage), then NO as I am quite careful with this kind of things.
Any idea what it's all about?

could be a reply from a competition text - such as the Gadget show or Fifth gear run.
The text you send them is free - they then reply with a "thanks for entering" type mail which costs you the 25p (hence calls cost 25p + standard text rate).
have you entered any such competition recently ?
