Mr Tsvetnenko trades under the name Mobile Adverts and carries on the business of operating adult entertainment chat services using mobile phone short messaging services (SMS).

advertise only part of the price of Mobile Adverts services but rather advertise the total price, where there are additional costs or charges that apply; nor
