Virgin Mobile Lock: Deactivate Premium SMS 7XXX, Use *222 or STOP & 252 Code for PLAY Network

If you do not manage to call the Virgin Mobile consultant at * 222, and you want to block the inconvenient Premium SMS from paid numbers starting with 7XXX
you can try to put a lock on your phone yourself. Because Virgin connects the business to the PLAY network, the deactivation code is the same as in PLAY.

In the SMS, enter STOP and we send to the number 252 . After a while we get a message from the number 6000 "Lock activation has been requested"

Remember that if you send any SMS to a special type of crossword solution, you block the lock from the machine.
In the case of a subscription, unwanted SMS can make big bills.
