Mtchew. There will always be a way around it...

Nice development.

But guys if you wanted to stop unwanted or spam calls from these network provider, just download Truecaller application on Google play stores. Have been using it since last year and it works fine.

Besides, Truemessenger also works fine for these unwanted messages.

hi NLers, i guess this most will help my earlier complaints against airtel. i bought N200 credit to test them. but they cannot go Scott free from stealing my N500 credit,
so help
this is a serious SOS
that is preventing me from evening looking at my phone or checking my airtel account balance.
On Sunday i bought N500 airtel credit in a bus park since i was embarking on a trip.
i loaded it and it was successful. i now had a balance of about N508 thereabout.
between Sunday and Monday i kept receiving e-job 'flash' messages (not even proper sms)
that i kept ignoring them as i was not interested, the jobs were not in my area and I DID NOT SUBSCRIBE FOR E-JOB ALERTS.
By Tuesday i sent a text and received an airtel notification that my text was sent at N4 and my balance is now N124!!!
i was livid! i called customer care immediately and they told me i had subscribed for e-job alerts!
i told them i did no such thing because:
-i have a job to God's glory
-i have worked for a number of years
-my phone is not touch screen so they is no question of if i mistakenly subscribed
the customer care agent gave many gibberish excuses and told me she would unsubscribe from their centre and gave me a format and a number to text to also unsubscribe.
i did still wondering how i would get my over N330 credit e-job alerts had taken.
By Wednesday i still got the alerts and kept checking my credit balance.
to my chagrin i kept watching N30 being taken away with each passing text which were coming in bulk.
i called the customer care line 3 different times, spoke to different people and insisted on speaking with their supervisor which i finally did.
none of the conversations i had with them yielded anything positive.
i was told my credit would not be refunded and i will have to wait for 12 hours before i am removed from the e-job subscription! by then i had N34. after raked for them. i cut the call and got the next e-job alert which also took the last N30!

Nlers i wish to pursue this matter because:
-what is the guarantee that if i re-charge my phone i will not be debited again
-why should my money go? if i had loaded N1000 or more is that how i would have lost my money
-if i had only one line would i have been stranded for the irresponsibility of airtel and overzealous service providers
-i am not the only one that has experienced this
-i did not subscribe why should i be automatically made to pay for what i dd not ask for

I would post this in every possible thread until it gets the attention of airtel.
if anyone know how i can reach NCC to complain pls tell
is there any other way i can get justice
is NCC the only regulatory body
how do i get a more authoritative airtel staff to address this matter?

Help oh... because sadly i have had this line since Econet (2003)
imagine how they are treating such a long time customer.

AIRTEL SCAM ALERT

Amarom

I hope it will not stop bank alert?

Fairgodwin:
I tried it on the Airtel network but guess what it said? "successful, you can now receive all messages from Airtel."

Thats a lie.
What it says is that your opting for FULL DND was successful.Meaning FULL DO NOT DISTURB

I'm anticipating these network providers will surely come up with some kind of scheme to make customers opt out of the DND plan.

tansho:
Some phones can block numbers and contacts. You don't need all that crap from NCC or network providers

Mr Man, since some phones don't need it, don't you think NCC/Network Providers created the "crap" for those phones that need it?

#OverSabi will just be killing Nairalanders.

Interest !

Chosen1984:
GREAT INFO OP! GOD BLESS YOU!! THIS GUYS COULD BE A MENACE TO ONE'S PEACE!!

NCC WE ALSO NEED TO STOP THIS MTNPROMO.COM SCAMMERS! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!

Its simple get their hosting provider and report their activity.

I like this

After receiving confirmation sms for dnd i still got a call and sms from airtel this evening. I know that nonsense thing will not work.

Thank God I am free from this pp.

Impressive!!!..tried it on my glo line and I got this...

AND never again harass subscribers with unwanted messages. Amen.

Na me do you? Why take my post personal? Is it your duty to moderate what people post on this forum? In what ways did my comments affect your life? Miserable busy-body

I have tried 'STOP' to 2442 on Airtel but no show.

I have also tried '0' over ten times

I hope to continue when Day breaks
