yes, fine them seriously! these people hv killed my precious phone with msgs. I get crazy msgs from these people everyday, I opted out late last year using the "do not disturb" code, they now shifted to calls with some strange 5 digit numbers, they call everyday, they've even called today and possibly another wud come before today runs out, sooooo annoying!!! FINE THEM!!!

bettercreature:
The worse is the new 2244 or whatever wouldnt stop the silly SMS,that number is a fraud

The code is 2442 not 2244

Wetin go be our own gain wey dey receiv d disturbing msg? I knw say d money na voice mail

FxInvestmentHub:
5million is just too small. There will pay and still sent those messages because there are profiting from the difference after deducting the fine.

It's 5 million naira per each phone number they send an unsolicited messages

The 5m should be paid to the subscriber being disturbed!!

So who go collect the #5m We wey the network providers disturbed with the unsolicited sms or FG or APC

Wee hear.

I called them several times until I insisted on talking to a supervisor and threatened to stop using my line.

N5 million is per SMS. Imagine they send 10 of such SMS to 10 people each. The fine is 10 * 10 * 5 million = 500million.

Not only txt msges also this nomba 04900 & 22500 calling me on my Mtn nomba almost 3 times a day. when u pic they either sing or advertise their product. pls they should stop this nonsense. funny enough the call usually come whenever am expecting an important calls

Is NCC fining the network providers #5M on behalf of the users or for themselves?

I don't really care about the sms. The annoying ones are those pop-ups that comes out when making calls that I always end up pressing them plus the annoying calls from airtel ( diffrent numbers) for stupid stuff like Great news blah...... & qualification for extra credit borrowing

they should paY more...

if only I got 5m for every unsolicited text message or call I get from airtel alone; leaving out Mtn and glo EFCC would have frozen my account by now

Dis new NCC are as criminal as their new ogas. Na dem suppose collect d fine abi d subscribers? I remember d last tym one of dis ntwrks was asked to refund subscribers. Dats how it shld b. It's now looking more like d ntwrk providers are helping d NCC to milk d subscribers. Generate millions/billions from unsolicited msgs and simply remit their share of 5m to d NCC.

Our gov don turn to bedbug. Keep sucking investors all in the name of fines.

Good step anyway atleast my phone can rest

seriously can Nigerians ever be satisfied? This is one of the rare occasions where our govt is responsive to the nuisance constituted by these investors, and someone has this to say in form of a thank you? These investors don't try the nonsense they try in Nigeria in more regimented countries. That is the same reason the likes of Shell and Chevron diplomatically satisfy their whims and caprices in Nigeria in the name of exploitation. What we should be particular about is ensuring that we the victims are made beneficiaries of the punitive measures that the purpose of justice may be served.

The code is 2442 not 2244

I'll send it today sweetheart

This warning has never been heed by telecom companies, NCC with its loud mouth. A warning or policy without action is just noise, Okbye, we've notice your existence.

just 5m only?....poor calculations that will never serve as deterrent.


If they make 200m from unsolicited messages and they are fined 5m,y wud they stop when the fine is negligible

I believe that the 5m is for each message.... 10 message. 50m
If only they will enforce

where does the money go to...you fine someone for inconveniencing me and you take the same money on my behalf you be thief ni!

Na NCC dem go pay 5m but na me dem send d sms. Who dem epp?

As for me, the 5m fine supposed to be collected by individual the text hit their phone. Did NCC supported me when I bought my Phone and line?

Airtel should be fined more than. that useless network have been deducting my money anyhow. and when i call they will be apologizing

fpeter:

Thank me later.
