Etisalat and their unwanted messages anytime you check your balance. I hate Glo and MTN too! Those stupid messages asking you to subscribe for useless information too. There was even a time my phone had a low battery and I was expecting an important call, MTN kept sending nonsense upon nonsense till my phone got tired of vibrating and went off. 2 Likes |

Well I don't receive those messages though I know a friend who has been complaining bitterly I was told by my account officer that my monthly usage is high and excludes me. Whatever that means I think information is key and I crave for those messages Your life could be better for it you know Even when I see a flier tucked under my windshield, I pick it and read You never know |

Mtn is d worst..they will even charge you money for something you did not subscribe for.they will ask you to answer a question for free to win something..oya go answer naa..100naira go comot ur credit sharp sharp.I delete all their msgs until last time where GOD opened my eyes as read something like "you are lucky to be among those who their subscription for the proverb whatever have been extended for another week.cost 100naira" my head burst! I called 180 sharpily but the only gave me a code on how to opt out but the money don die..I did subscribe for it once and didn't find it interesting so I stoped and they don't have thw right to do the extension and still charge me |

untrue. So untrue. Don't you think these networks have legal departments? No network would activate you without your consent. If you didn't do it, someone in your house activated you. agwo2july: @Op, many atime, mtn will activate u without knowing and collect ur money just like that and send msg to u. Last time I had to call them, they said is system error. They did it to me and my wife most of the time. I will soon sue them to prove a point that, nigerians are not fools |
Re: Annoying Messages Sent By Telecom Service Providers by 3ace(m): 3:13pm On Oct 31, 2013 |
prof800: It is so annoying...This still doesn't mean you can't take legal action against them if you have a valid and strong case. |
Re: Annoying Messages Sent By Telecom Service Providers by kayswag100(m): 3:15pm On Oct 31, 2013 |
For airtel customers, Kindly dial *363*2#. That should do the magic for a while. The only alerts you will receive is from 440. (bb reminders) |

The situation is really terrible and drove me nuts. Searched for an app to block these messages but could not find one that was truly free and made for the Nigerian environment. So I decided to develop one. It's called Spam Trap and it's now available in BlackBerry app world and Google Play for FREE. Just download and install. that's all. It blocks messages based on numbers and content. It determines your network and suggest spam numbers and content to you on your network. Just accept the suggestions. It also has the ability to sense potential spam messages from numbers not yet listed and keeps you updated on new spam sources based on your settings. More still, it gives you protection across all networks, switch your network and your spam database will be updated so that as long as you are within Nigeria's 923,768 sq km, you are protected. It's already gone through beta testing and very stable. Download now and thank me later. It's free and incredibly simple to use. Works on BlackBerry OS 5 and above and on Android 2.33 and above. When you download, please do not forget to review. Thanks.

For the annoying auto calls, I simply save the useless number on my phone and have them automatically sent to voicemail. That way, I get less of this useless and irritating calls. I have about five of those numbers on my phone. |

I use three lines,mtn,glo and etisalat. I must say glo is the worse,I receive those annoying msgs most times at night. Mtn is is the same story, its so frustrating not to talk of the calls frm 4digits noba or at times 5 digits. I am tired of hissing and cursing whenever I receive such. Just SMH |
