Yeah, it reverse bills the SMS. Android can only block your device from sending premium rate SMS, not receiving them (how could it? It's up to your network operator to handle that side of things).
The original idea with reverse-billing was that users could subscribe to services such as weather updates, which would automatically send a message once a day/week, and the user be charged upon receipt. The problem with reverse billing is that it's clearly open to substantial abuse.
- fasteo 13y agoIt is a Spanish premium subscription number. To subscribe you need to opt-in, either by web (getting a PIN code you need to enter to confirm the subscription) or by SMS (You need to confirm by replying to a free message from the short code). I guess this app is going through SMS opt-in, sending the reply behind the scenes.
