Have you received a text message from telecoms network provider advertising to you and you ignore such messages? You might be in a trap. You can imagine a message like this "You have been subscribed to ___ and will be charged 50 NGN per week, to unsubscribe, dial ___" from some of those funny 3, 4 digits or 5 digits numbers. If you ignore such messages, your airtime starts getting deducted, and that is a gimmick. How on earth should you be forced to respond to a message to prevent airtime deductions? What if the message came in while in a meeting? or what if you delete the message?
I have fallen a victim of this and even when i called the network, no refund made. I was advised to send STOP to 2442 (i think that is NCC regulation). However, after about a month again, the advert started coming in again and imagine receiving a message from 55515 that "Dear subscriber, the 3day FREE trial ends on 04-Aug-2016. You will be charged 50 NGN per 7 days for ARISE_W content. To unsubscribe...". Please who is the subscriber? When did i subscribe? which free trial? what is ARISE_W. I didn't even read the message until this morning i got another message "ARISE_W service is re-subscribed..." and then NGN 50 starts going off my airtime every week.
This is unsatisfactory.
Anyone with such experiences? What did you do about it? Because even in this case, i have tried to dial the code to unsubscribe and it has refused to yield.

Please does anyone know how to get attention of NCC to such gimmicks?
