How To End Unsolicited Messages From GSM Companies – NCC

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has urged network subscribers to leverage its shortcode 2442 to end unsolicited messages by the value-added services (VAS) providers and network providers.

NCC zonal controller in Enugu, Ogbonnaya Ugama, stated this on Monday.

Mr Ugama noted that the VAS providers and network often sent unsolicited messages and marketing calls to its customers.

“To stop unsolicited messages, use our do not disturb code of 2442 by typing ‘STOP’ and sending to 2442 to stop all unsolicited messages, or send ‘HELP’ to the same code and follow the prompt to choose the options of the types of messages you want to receive,” stated the NCC official. “You can also send ‘STATUS’ to 2442 to see if your choices have been implemented.”

Mr Ugama also advised Nigerians to use the 112 toll-free line provided by the NCC in any event of an emergency.

“You can use the number to call the police, road safety, fire service, ambulance and health authorities,” he said.
