chuxyz: All these network operators will come to a lawless country as Nigeria and do anyhow they like. Are they really doing all these in other countries? NCC should look into this. There should be a regulation on how they send all these unwanted messages. I receive not less than 10 of these messages per day. Most times they send a particular 3times in a day. Another thing is that they don't even care to know if such message is suitable to the a particular set of the general public. How should MTN for instance be sending a muslim to download prayers by Pastor Chris or Adeboye? That is total disturbance I tell you. They should categorize their audience, know what is suitable for who, know who or who wants this and does not want that, etc.

miracle4: The apps do have option to completely block unknown (all private names will be blocked) callers and text messages. This option will only affect you getting notification from your bank.

So it is best activated on your secondary sims.
