Airtel has finally introduced a method in which you can also opt out from any Value Added Services (VAS) subscriptions or unsolicited messages that you felt are deducting your credits without permission.

This is coming in the heel of the similar move recently taken by MTN that now gives subscribers the ability to know and deactivate any active VAS themselves.

By this move, airtel has also placed the power in the hands of their subscribers to know the VAS they want to subscribe to and the one to opt out from.

Like that of MTN, this can also be achieved by dialling the provided code that will allow you activate a VAS subscription or to deactivate any existing one.

To activate or deactivate any Airtel VAS or SMS;

· Dial *902# with your airtel line to choose from two options that will either allow you activate or deactivate VAS or SMS

· Select 1 to activate (Start) a VAS plan or 2 to see and deactivate (stop) any existing one

This should be a welcome development

This is the exact problem I'm having. They deduct 10NGN 4x daily. 2xMorning & 2x
Evening.

These people are thieves that deserve to be sued. Very annoying nonsense deductions. Broad daylight robbery

C d one received i almost clicked yes

Airtel is the most useless network in the entire universe.
Imagine Airtel deducting #50 daily for an xyz service.
I can't even recharge my line anymore because the stupid network wouldn't just stop stealing my credit for no reason.
Subscribers should be able to choose whether or not to activate a service, and not the reverse.
This unprofessional embarrassing attitude is too bad for business.

A call or tweet to the Customer care twitter handle will do the magic. Tweet @Airtel_Care for a prompt assistance.

Sending stop to 2442 or dialling *902# always fails on my Airtel line. I practically have to call customer service every week to request for a total DND that is only always temporary.
Renewing unsolicited subscriptions that one never subscribed to is daylight robbery and Airtel has taken it too far.
There has to be a way to alert NCC officially (not that they don't already know).
A class action has to be the only way.
