Did that, got the USSD confirmation but still get the messages. This is just scum marketing from MTN IMHO

This appears to be something that got rolled out for everyone on the MTN network. :( Our Mobile Team is currently working on a solution for this.
 
I have a SIM Toolkit but can't see anything in there to block the spam. Care to give specific instructions?

1 open sim menu
2 goto each option
3 goto manage
4 disable or unsubscribe
5 repeat for all the options

I did this in January after finding a post in mtn section, think black Friday thread.
 
Those were the first things I checked on, before posting here. There is no mentionm of marketing messages and no changes. Bearing mind I have been turning off all their marketing channels as they appear.
What the AfriGenie says makes sense, a new underhanded way to annoy their clients from MTN

Did this work for you? If you have screenshots, I think it will help those who really want to get rid of the message :(

There is a USSD code that is supposed to opt out of all marketing messages - but doesn't seem to work for this. I think that only really works for SMS :(

Worked for me back then, had irritating ads pop up after every call initially.
None since then.
 
Sweet! They can just sign-up for a free 1-GB Capped account HERE.

Once that's done, you will just go to your ClientZone, choose My Account, then on the left you will see the transfer product option.
And what if the person doesn't have a landline?
