MTN are fond of doing this thing. They are now tired of sending SMS messages. Now what they do is to now send you what I'll call a "flash message."
When the message comes into your phone, you'll only see an option of CANCEL or OK.

In a case where you use a touchscreen phone, there is chances that you'll unknowingly click on OK and boom, you've been subscribed to one useless service you never intended and your money subsequently deducted.

I have fallen a victim several times and it annoys me. What can I do about it?

example

simply go to Google Play, download truecaller, truedialler and truemessanger activate them and restrict unwanted messages
