Peter,
Does the competition have a website? Ie GMTV or ITV etc?
You'll find the competitions rules & regs on there somewhere and there should be some sort of "How to stop it" section.
Hope that helps as I don't know how to bar numbers on Nokias

The usual procedure is sending a text (SMS) message with the word "STOP" to the number that you are receiving them from, in other words, reply to it with that.
I know its not the same, but I registered to Natwest moblile phone banking, the text message keeps coming through every friday, and I dont know how to stop it. I cant really remember all the passcodes etc for the phone banking, so Im going to leave it for now

The text messages are charged on delivery regardless of whether or not they are opened. Unfortunately you wont be able to stop the ones that have already been sent, even though they have not yet been delivered they'll wait for the credit and then deliver.
There could possibly be a way round this, although I've not tested this (however I'll get my team on it in the morning), depending on the network there is a maximum validity time on the message server. For Orange it is 4 weeks, any messages not delivered after this time will remain not delivered and therefore, as the message is only charged on delivery it should mean that you are not charged. I should state that I'm a Testing Manager for Orange's Fraud & Revenue Assurance team, I'm sure you're not the first person to ask this so I'll investigate when I get in the office tomorrow. If there's no definitive answer then Peter, consider your query as a prompt to get this officially investigated!
Kind Regards
Paul
