Airtel Is Taking Their Adverts Too Far.....its Frustrating Nigerians by ghost: 7:48am On Jun 08, 2012 |
I seem to be grossly frustrated with the way Airtel disturbs me. Whoever set of people are in their adverts department are taking their advert methods too far,they are frustrating millions of Nigerianss everyday and most times they are responsible for making people unhappy. Everyday I receive an average of 6 text messages fro Airtel,38297 etc, they send the same advert messages and I am tired deleting it, frustrating enough, yesterday,they sent me an advert message at 2am,waking me up and I couldn't find sleep again. As if that's not enough, they call millions of Nigerians and when you pick,they start advertising again, numbers like 141, 07080604010 etc. I have been calling the customer care almost everyday for the past 4 months and they keepp promising me it would stop in 2hrs,6hrs etc only for me to receive the messages again. Please People can anyone pls help us complain to NCC. Airtel is frustrating us with spam messages and calls, and their customer care services are completely useless. Help us I beg. 16 Likes |

I experience the same thing and it sometimes gets on my nerves. They have also started some lottery like promos that charges 100 Naira daily for a chance to win 1 million naira. I'm sure many of their subscribers would have been tricked into it. 2 Likes |

NCC can not help because they are just useless!!! My frustration about this got to the breaking-point 2months ago. I simply just transfered all my contacts on the Airtel sim to my Glo and abandoned the line since then. One day when maybe your prayer is answered, please announce here so that i can maybe use the Airtel sim again, only if i must anyway! |

I'm sure many of their subscribers would have been tricked into it.That exactly what happens to me, I was told i should send free but they started deducting N100 from my account from then on, i stop loading on the line since two weeks ago. i just text stop to 3030 and that resolve the issue. |

Well looks like we are many suffering this harassment from airtel. I only use my airtel for browsing but they will never let me be with incessant advert sms and calls. I had to permanently put my phone on silent so as not to be irritated anytime they send their unwanted messages. The annoying thing is that the nos are so many. I get up to 6 advert sms daily and calls from 141 and two other airtel no. Glo was doing same thing too but i had to blacklist the nos: 4040, 5050 and one other no. Its really frustrating. |

You should try starcomms and you know that Airtel is a baby in the game. I specifically turn my starcomms off at night. When i wake, i would have received 2 or 3 sms. So frustrating. 1 Like |

Just add the numbers that call or text you to blacklist and they can never reach you again. |
