Mobile network operators have created means by which subscribers can stop unsolicited messages from being sent to their phones. Etisalat recently sent tweets to its subscribers of the code which runs across all telcos.
This is in compliance with the Nigerian Communications Commissions (NCC) directive and June 30 deadline to telecommunication companies to create short-codes for subscribers who want to opt-out of unsolicited messages.
The short code is 2442 and the service is free and available to subscribers of all telecommunications companies. All you need to do is to text 'Help' to the short-code and your privacy is protected.
