Unwanted premium text messages are becoming more of a problem as crafty minds figure to exploit the fledgling but wide-open industry, before it gets regulated.

Telstra is looking to stay ahead of the curve and it being proactive in trying to provide solutions to this mounting problem.

Telephone consultants are going to contact service providers on behalf of customers to attempt to presuade them that disputed services should be stopped immediately.

The company is also looking to assist customers with receiving refunds on invalid charges.

In addition Telstra will spearhead a mobile education campaign detailing how to handle unwarranted premium text message services.
