Long story short, I loathe Vodacom and their scummy business practices. As soon as my contract is done I am jumping ship.

Anyways, while they have me by the short and curlies, I send out daily STOP ALL smses to 31050. And then I log the SMSes.
Vodacom set u pa Content Block on my line to never subscribe me to a WASP service ever again. Below are the SMSes that I receive while just browsing on LTE data. Just chilling, having a good time while browsing Imgur and Reddit, these SMSes cone through one after the other. No adverts clicked, no popups.

I even got one while driving yesterday, the only thing active on my phone was Google Maps.

I don't know who else to tag. I don't know who else's dick to suck to get Vodacom to stop trying to subscribe me to WASP services. I am ****ing livid.

that sender must be blocked by the wireless association. log a complaint against the sender,
27821202200 - SuperHTML
 
Thanks, but I have moved over to a different provider. I was on their network for 12 years, but Vodacom can go fly a kite.
 
Um, any chance this might be a rogue app on your device, running in the background, that tries to piggy-back on any active data connection, and Vodacom then sends you an sms that its requests are being blocked? As such it's not up to Vodacom to block the app behaviour, but you to just either uninstall the rogue app or else to perform a reformat of the device. Might be an option?
