Dear Pakistani mobile phone operators, do you have any shame?

[sur]

So I am suffering with this problem since I bought a Pakistani mobile Sim card, but only recently started to getting annoyed with it.
I receive 4 to 5 advertisement messages from my mobile phone operator daily. Almost alway have to come and check out my message box in my mobile.
I never subscribed to such advertisements. Why I and other Pakistanis are shamelessly bombarded with such useless peace of annoying art? Can PTA do anything about it?

I faced the same. They were also taking money out for every un-called for ad.
I called and they told me to explicitly say "no" and they will stop.

They also told me a way to say "no" via text msg which I don't remember now.
There's a way to stop such ad txts. Ask around.

That PTA number 9000 doesn’t work, says service not available

Services must have been temporarily stopped due to the overdue bill payment by the PTA. Don't worry, try contacting on the number after the IMF bail package goes through.

You're talking about marketing messages,

My balance on all my SIMS disappears after few days and starts showing 0.

I have data permanently turned off but sill.

Everything in Pakistan has a mafia now

Water mafia, telecom mafia, land mafia, dairy mafia, poultry mafia etc.



PTA never solves a complain.

Consumer court might work, but never PTA

Take them and bash them on twitter,
that is the way to go.

Put a screen shot of your registered complain,
and cc their DG enforcement on it.

Keep bashing them until they learn,
let me know if you need more information on officers concerned and departments.

I don't have a Facebook. Never created one. Hun das

Facebook actually keeps a very good persona of those who do not have a facebook account.
they know who you are, and they know why you don't have an account, and they know which other accounts you may have.

No, they are inseminating some cows in heat in a eastern neighborly country,

they do that regularly, some of their offspring now roam this forum looking for daddy.

Brother, I have bashed them on twitter, even called their helpline. The problem is not telecom/internet companies, but regulatory bodies.

Even if PTA manages to fix my individual complain, there are millions of other Pakistanis that are affected, what about them?

Bandages don't work

PTA is the regulator,
as a part of their manifesto their job is to ensure service to customers and regulate the telecom environment to offer free fair business.

They have a directorate for ensuring service,
they get paid to do that job,
Bash them, and keep bashing them, until they learn
Make sure you have the correct handle.

That’s nothing. When I went to lahore I started getting whatsapp messages for massage parlors.

Yes bulk sms marketing is a major problem in Pakistan sadly.

The worst are the flash messages, which are supposedly for emergencies only, will stop everything on your phone to display the message. This stuff should be illegal. Every scheme has its own number so no matter how many you add to the block list they keep coming. Then there are the endless scam messages and local businesses getting a hold of your number most probably from illegal means to advertise and so on. I remember when I applied to a university and gave them my no. every educational institute in the city started sending me messages, I think one even called, I'm not sure.

I have complained regarding this several times in the past. Every time their reply used to be, "Agar apko yeh promotional messages nahin chahiyen to apko apna number bund krwana parega."
