Random Pop up messages

I sent a message to MTN, and they said I have to install the MTN app to manage the messages. I did install the app. Under settings there is a option for messages consent. They were all selected. I deselected them all so hopefully it will stop now.

similar to the SMS story they advised me - a sms is a bit less intrusive (and dangerous) than this pop up

According to MTN, the below is supposed to stop this, not sure which option though so i stopped all

Apologies, please dial *135#
Select Prepaid Service or Contract service (Option 3 post-paid)
Select Change Consent settings
Only after selecting change consent settings would one get these options
Competitions
Promotions
Personalised Offers
Direct Marketing

Thanks for this tip, I had 1 item enabled which is now gone.
