it's a good initiative. But I would advice jobless people like myself who are still seeking for employment not to use the code(s). We all know some companies don't use the mail while inviting applicants for interview, they rather use the bulk sms platform. The code will also stop you from receiving message from any bulk sms platform which means you've reduced your chances of being invited for interview. A word is enough for the wise, make i carry my wahala comot for this thread

Text "status" to 2442 then follow the link to reactivate. That's if you've deactivated it before

I love this. Seriously, some of the messages provided by network providers are not important.

Just be aware that you will no longer receive Bulk SMS such as Job interview invite, meeting invite, owambe invite, wedding invite etc once you activate this code on your phone.

Lie,

I tried the code this what I got


It automatically subscribed to something else
Send STOP to 2442 not 2442 to 9004, so you subscribed for that yourself, besides it only stop messages from third party and not messages directly from the network.

The 2442 code doesnt work, i have sent STOP to 2442 more than 4 occasions till today, I still get unsolicited messages and shit notifications from Etisalat.
NCC is a joke!
