Anyone else getting these random Pop up messages once or twice a week?

I have all premium/ WASP services blocked, phone in my pocket, hear a very distinct sound and voila, it's this... Screenshot_20201117-101715_SIM toolkit.jpg

It turns the phones screen on too. So all you need to do is accidentally click OK to something you probably don't even read before it's gone with your airtime.
 
I get it sometimes, not often enough for me to remember how many times a month though so not as bad as you, but I get it nonetheless.

ya getting this randomly as well.
I can imagine some guys let their kids play a game on the phone and the kid just hits ok to get rid of the message
 
Yeah got one two days ago. Short but distinct beep in the pocket as mentioned above and when you remove the phone the screen is on.

No idea if I have accidentally said OK or Yes or any of that.
 
I seem to get them a lot for 2 or 3 days then it stops for a few weeks, then it will sporadically start again.
 
Also have it on my new phone. No clear way to turn it off and it drives me mad. After calls I get this stupid thing saying for X amount it can respond to missed calls like this or something. Really irritating.

It stopped the SMS's but not the SIM messages
 
There should be an option to opt in, not sign people up automatically for this spam crap
