These are subscription services that are not provided by Vodafone, but by third-party companies that bear sole responsibility for their content and the way they are delivered.

The content of these services varies depending on the company, and charges are applied both when sending and receiving an SMS. For example, this may involve five-digit SMS numbers for updates about horoscopes or sports news.

Subscription services are activated by an action taken by the user of the number. For instance, you may have entered your mobile number to participate in an online contest, which could result in unwanted charges.

Vodafone is not responsible for the delivery or content of services provided by third-party companies. As long as the company providing the subscription service is licensed by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT), Vodafone is required to provide access and billing through its network.
