Opt out not working on Vodacom...

[Pitbull]

I have now sent OUT to 08217832 a couple of times and every day I still get this annoying: Low on Airtime? Spam thing selling their airtime advance shyte.

How do I go about removing myself from getting this stupid SMS daily?

dont be a nob by ever replying to sms's.
you might just get opted in instead of out
they're a sneaky bunch that run these things.
Block the number or just ignore them

Phone it not blocking that number...

I can block any other number but that one...

very weird phone number
it is shorter than a cell number

Just ignore it

Why on earth are you doing business with the Devil?

No other options?

It's farking annoying, just got one again... Where does one report Opt outs not working, or companies not acting on opt out messages?

This is my last attempt, then I'm definitely going to make a stink about it:

8. Customers may choose to opt out from specific Vodacom promotional messages and communication channels. To opt out customers can SMS STOP to 31118 at no extra charge

I just randomly got this SMS out of the blue!! Alternate to OOB?

Vodacom Data Refill service successfully activated. You'll get 100MB Data Refill at R29 valid for 30 days every time your data runs out. T&Cs apply. Dial *135*6# to opt out.

When Vodacom sends those SMS saying yes or no to subscribe to whatever,, they have already subscribed you to it.. ever wonder why your airtime just vanishes.. you can cancel subscriptions on the Vodacom app but there was once I had to call coz it never showed but airtime was being deducted.. I called and they told me this

I have sent that STOP ALL text many times cos im paranoid. The stop all thing isnt reliable & isnt working anymore.
