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.

Never knew I had a partner. I'm considering dropping the line.

Frustrating Indeed. Every hour a text message. My inbox is getting filled up

Air out your frustrations on Airtel here.

O boy! I tot I was alone in this. Their method shud be used as some kind of interrogation technique.I mean u gat 2 hv a strong mental strenght not 2 go insane!

I second the motion!! Airtel stop bombarding us with spam....

Would invite you to the next telecomes consumer parliarment wher u can air ur opinions to any network of your choice while they tell you their resons and respon to ur complains in fornt of ncc staffs.

@ Omamofe,please do invite us,I would be most pleased and attend against all odds.
I am tired and its frustrating me everyday. Most of my friends and family are using Airtel and they are complaining bitterly.

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.

they are hustlin for money. d current naija economy is: get rich or die tryin....

Same here too..Especially when u are expecting a credit alert,only to open ur inbox and end up disapointed.. But there should be a way to screen out those numbers from ones phone

I thought i was being targeted by Airtel, now i know i am not alone

Oh, thank God. I'm not alone. Sincerely, I'm tired of the messages too.

I was tricked o, but av blocked it by sendin stop to 3030, well i told dere cutomer care personnel dat dey are extotin dere customers, cos dere and conditions are not clear

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 s 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!

In fact, the airtel bombardment is way too much. As a result, i dont use any message tone for my messages

there should be a way to unsubscribe from adverts and offers from all these telecomms company self

It's very annoying and disgusting... I really wanna know how to block their spams (texts and machine calls)

That exactly what happens to me, I was told i should send free but they started deducting N100 from my from then on, i stop loading on the line since two weeks ago. i just text stop to 3030 and that resolve the issue.

don't really understand Airtel this days

LOL!

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.

Just sent STOP to 3030 to block useless mensenges.

Visa fone is their twin brother

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.

I have since dropped their sim for months now. Their extortion is way too high.

AIRTEL AND MTN ARE WAYO NETWORK, THEY KEEP SENDING TRICKISH TEXT MY INBOX. I THINK NCC IS SUPPOSE TO CAUTION THEM FOR THE SPAM TEXT (WAYO PROMO).

Glad sumbody is talkin abt dis meaningless adverts...as am typin this, i just got another. Dunno what to call dis Airtel. D sad tin for me abt it is dat, itz my biz line. Am stuck wit it. Fcuckin Garlic-smelling Indians AGAIN

scopusng: Just sent STOP to 3030 to block useless mensenges.

10X SIR/MA. I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR HELP ON THIS MATTER. GOD BLESS YOU.

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

Isn't peculiar to airtel, if all networks should stop this it will be fine.
