Subscribers beg NCC to sanction operators over endless unsolicited messages

The National Association of Telecommunications Subscribers (NATCOMS) on Monday urged the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to address unsolicited text message related issue squarely this year.

The President of NATCOMS, Chief Deolu Ogunbanjo made the call in an interview in Lagos.

According to him “The issue of unsolicited text message is an industry problem that NCC has to address squarely.

“Until heavy sanctions are meted on the operators, that is when we can have some peace,’’ Ogunbanjo said.

He insisted that telecommunications service providers do not deactivate unsolicited messages, when subscribers send “STOP” to the code provided.
