Its NCC I blame. I have complained on the fb page times without number, besides text some stupid calls also come in times without number.

Air tel is the worst with calls while mtn is the worst with texts.

Honestly I don't know what to do any more as well.

Its so terrible and the regulatory bodies are less worried about it.

MTN can send me as many as 5 of those useless texts within a minute.
A British man once called me aside asking how he could stop those texts from entering his phone, I said there is no way to do that for now as I once called the customer care to complain about it and they just couldn't help.

Its so frustrating and annoying, they do this any time of the day, in the morning, afternoon, night, mid-night! Nigerian. They are by far worse than spam mails!!! angry
Re: Nigerian Networks And Their Annoying Texts/calls by Sweetlemon(f): 7:33pm On Sep 21, 2014
jacabi: Sanchez01: I did in my case. I lost many detailed texts which are now lost for life. Annoyingly, Glo just devised a means, they have been calling my phone repeatedly with a typical Glo number and you would fall for the number, believing it's your normal phone calls. It's as if my privacy has been sold to third parties.
It was airtel that tried that nonsense with me. They used real number to call me then I put it to blacklist, they used another one I did thesame thing, up to about 10 nos.

Lol!

Na by force ni?

Very annoying message, sometimes on MTN I do received up to 10 message within 5 minutes. I don't know what NCC is doing
Re: Nigerian Networks And Their Annoying Texts/calls by coolxpat(m): 7:41pm On Sep 21, 2014
The must annoying one is the one they use on BB. They make it appear as if u just finish checking ur acc balance only to find urself subscribe to one of their useless services after press ok.
Re: Nigerian Networks And Their Annoying Texts/calls by drololaaof: 7:41pm On Sep 21, 2014
The problem is general the annoying thing is that they send their msg & calls at odd hours disturbing your sleep. My question is what is NCC doing to protect consumers?
Re: Nigerian Networks And Their Annoying Texts/calls by Dailyfavour(m): 7:41pm On Sep 21, 2014
I think they do these to most lines in Nigeria, so tired of it, in my search for solution, I was asked to write "STOP to 33111" yet the messages doubled after promising of removing my line from data base.....up to NCC
