Check it for your self and do not open the txt message - I was looking for a web design tools in the net. Came accross bravenet.com.
They requested to register to create an account, then they asked for a cell phone number
I gave them a number. They sent me 2 txts from number *******. The txt reads: Free txt
I open the messages and found out they charged the number i gave them £10.
Please try it for you self.

The reason I 5 star this site is because, though I NEVER used them, I had someone pirating my books on one of their hosted sites. I contacted them and within 30 mins, the site was terminated and the user blocked.

I had the same experience with the cell phone number - on top of that one of the things I wanted from Bravenet was a member map - and the link won't work on Yuku. I have tried to find how to UNSUBSCRIBE to Bravenet, but there doesn't seem to be a way. How do I get out of the cell phone "thing"? I have a line of my granddaughter's cell phone and certainly don't want her charged for my mistake.

It works when it works, but be prepared for it to be down at the worst times. And be prepared to lose everything if you don't back up frequently!
