We also don't have valid contact details for that service, but try to reply "STOP" or "QUIT" or maybe "PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME THEY ARE GOING TO SUSPEND MY LINES OF SERVICE FOR THESE BS FEES YOU KEEP CHARGING ME".
It got a little easier to cancel towards the end but are any of those people getting commensurate money back from ...
