Yesterday after booting up and connecting the following message popped up - "You have been blacklisted from this WASP....Sorry"
What does this mean?

A Wireless Application Service Provider has blacklisted you. Listen for sirens then hide.

You broke their T&C and got too many complaints from the people you spam-sms

that's the problem, you never sent 1 sms, you sent billions

jokes aside, make sure your device isn't stolen

Seems quite a few of us have received this message last night. Just checked with Vodacom, its not coming from their system. It might be a virus or a subscription (eg those 35050, 35040 services etc).... submitted from your cell number. Since i have not subscribed to any service, the advice was to run a virus scan and to completely uninstall and reinstall the vodafone mobile broadband. Will let you guys know how it all works out.....

Most likely your MSISDN has been blacklisted from a previous request and somebody has attempted to use your number for a service.
