Please has been an incessant issue facing the telecoms consumers(subscribers). I wish to say that if NCC is feigning ignorance of this disgusting and disappointing attitute by the operators, then this matter should be reported to the subscribers' advocate. He is the solicitor of the Telecom Subscribers Welfare Initiative of Nigeria. 08025019654 is his contact, for action. |

JECBOSS: I got a text from MTN to recharge #200 and win an aeroplane. I quickly dashed out and recharged my account. I called their customer care unit to book appointment for my aeroplane. To my greatest surprise, the female voice only responded, "Thank you for choosing MTN". Till this moment, I'm yet to get my well deserved Aeroplane. I'll consider taking a legal action against them. ![]() JECBOSS: I got a text from MTN to recharge #200 and win an aeroplane. I quickly dashed out and recharged my account.

Don’t mind those annoying telecom operators. They are broke, in fact they hardly pay their staff very well nowadays. They are not fairing very well in the midst of completion and the ‘price regulation’. They are looking for every means to balance the book. They have infiltrated the entertainment world with all their reality shows. Presently MTN is intellectually robbing some folks in their mobile app contest stuff. MTN gets money from the downloading of apps that people uploaded on their site. They are even sending a message that top 10 downloaders are going to win BBq10, all to get more traffic. |

Shimao: The situation is really terrible and drove me nuts. Searched for an app to block these messages but could not find one that was truly free and made for the Nigerian environment. So I decided to develop one. It's called Spam Trap and it's now available in BlackBerry app world and Google Play for FREE. Ori e wa mbe. Wo, wa se ire laye re titi lailai (In fact, you will always do good in your life). God bless you for this effort of yours. Was practically going crazy with the maddening way these network guys send irrelevant texts and here you come providing a ray of hope. Good job, keep it up. |

Re: Annoying Messages Sent By Telecom Service Providers by 3ace(m): 6:17am On Nov 01, 2013 |
Received a smswiki text yesterday. I went through it and realised that they gave me a free trial of one day which will expire today. As usual with glo, the text means that I have been automatically subscribed for this package hence, at the expiration of the trial period, they will automatically renew it and deduct my money. In order to forestall that since I don't need that package, I text "STOP" to 30801 and was shocked when they still deducted N10 for asking the mörons to stop the wahala they put their fathers into. Can you imagine? So annoying! |
