Honestly I feel like I am dating MTN. I go to bed with a text and wake up with a text msg. It's either they are calling me or begging me to subscribe to one thing or the other.

Not sure between mtn and airtel oh. But airtel is the most annoying cos they add like 15 spam calls in addition to the sms daily. If u have a smart phone, u can actually add those numbers to spam and u will stop receiving the messages. Unfortunately, u can't predict the numbers as new ones are added daily. I also use true caller to block those useless calls too.

If you don't mind take time out write out the numbers that are sending the messages, they are third party. Once you've written it out, call MTN customer care and tell them to remove you from the list by calling out the numbers. I was able to give them at least 10 codes, now my ba3 lasts 3 days. Thank me l8r.

MTN MTN MTN!.

they send approximately 5-6 useless messages daily and on celebration periods up to 10.
Now i ignore their MESSAGES THEY HAVE RESORTED TO CALLING ME!!!!

HINT/CAUTION: The funny part is that they have deviced a means of sending these messages inform of an alert, where your phone asks you to click Yes or No.

If you mistakenly click Yes, you're on your own.
There was a time my phone was switched off for a day and an half due to bad battery, on purchasing a new one, i immediately plugged my phone and switched it on.:...
Almost immediately, messages started trooping in, and i was already getting afraid lest my phone vibrate and sing to death lol.

Messages like: Send 0260077 to 4100 to prophecy new things to your callers with callertunez... How can i prophecy when i'm not even a pastor, i quickly delete am before i do mistake, prophecy for person say him go receive gift of car and at the end e no Receive.

Please dont bother calling their customer careline, after you wait for like 10mins(not surprising since perhaps 50 thousand other disturbed peeps are calling for same reason) if they enventually pick up, and you're done complaining.
Please have it at the back of your mind that:

1. Nothing will be done... Yes absolutely nothing will be done, the care agent would even look for ways to put the blame on you

2. I've noticed Calling them to complain of constant promo messages, automatically adds your phone number to their number one customers to receive it.... Yeah more like a TO DO LIST.....
I once complained, the agent assured me that everything is fine now, it didnt get up to 2mins later, i received another pointless message. I just shaked my head....


They are very crafty, and the only reason i'm still on this network is because its quite popular among my peers.

MTN is a nuisance when it comes to this but there is a way out.

Add the numbers that normally send the stupid messages to your screened messages or black list

USE APPS TO BLOCK UNWANTED MESSAGES:

Source: http://www.wikihow.com/Block-Android-Text-Messages

STEP 1

Download an SMS blocking app. Open the Play Store on your Android device and search for “sms block”. There will be a large variety of choices, both free and paid. Read the app descriptions and reviews to find the app that is right for you. Most of these apps follow the same basic premise.

Re: Which Network Provider Disturbs With Promotional Messages The Most? by talk2yommex2000(m): 5:33pm On Oct 01, 2015
Verily verily I say unto thee, no network does this better than MTN. If you are not on the MTN network, you can't really know how bad the situation is. Recently, they have moved from sms to calls. They frustrate the hell out of you whenever you are expecting a bank credit alert, an important text messages, or when you are only managing your last bar of battery. There is no limitation to what MTN can send a text to about. Even if you just think of something in your mind, MTN will send a text to that effect. e.g. "If you are hungry, send HUN to 34200 to receive tips on what you can eat." The worst part is, call their Customer Care to that effect and they will increase the tempo and number of the sms/calls you receive daily.

It's truly...MTN, Everywhere You Go
Re: Which Network Provider Disturbs With Promotional Messages The Most? by rukatech: 5:33pm On Oct 01, 2015
STEP 2


Block unknown numbers. Most SMS blocking apps will allow you to block any texts received from unknown numbers. This option may be found under the Settings menu. •This option will block texts from any number that is not in your contact list. Be aware that you may be blocking legitimate text messages using this method. Most SMS blocking apps have logs of the texts that were blocked so that you can review them later.

Re: Which Network Provider Disturbs With Promotional Messages The Most? by rukatech: 5:35pm On Oct 01, 2015
STEP 3

Block specific numbers. If you are receiving multiple spam messages from a specific number, or are being harassed by a specific number, you can add it to the app’s block list. •Most apps will allow you to choose messages in your inbox or numbers from your contact list to block. You can also manually enter numbers in.

STEP 4

Add keywords to the block list. You can add specific keywords that appear in spam messages to the block list. This will help reduce text spam if you are not blocking all unknown numbers. This may also be called the Filter in some apps.
