Irritating Subscribed SMS's From Recycled Sim

[Rumple4skin]

Both contract and prepaid numbers gets recycled. And a prepaid number can become a contract number and visa versa. The SMS coming through to you from that long number sounds like it is a telemetry device monitoring something and sendingreportd. There is nothing Vodacom can do about that. The person in charge of that device needs to change the settings on the device not send messages to your prepaid number. When a number gets recycled all RICA and WASP content services are removed. This is not that and is out of Vodacom's control.

Yes. IIRC, I have seen a few of the past SMS's talk about "the Kuruman area". I'm guessing it must perhaps be a system they use on the mines over there which sends out lightning warnings.

Its common knowledge that prepaid sims have been reycled..hence its so cheap.

How to say you know nothing without saying you know nothing...

A previously contract number CAN become a prepaid number if it was recycled, or the other way around.

Do you need a 3rd party app for this?

Samsung phones used to have this feature as part of standard sms app. Now not so much. Yes i used a 3rd party app for sms, purely to have the phrase blocking feature
