The Dhaka Times Desk BTRC is now alerting customers to block unwanted promotional SMS on mobile. Until now, customers were annoyed by this trouble. However, it can be turned off if desired. Find out how.
If you are annoyed by these promotional SMS, there is already a way to stop it. However, due to lack of publicity and awareness, many people are not aware of the service and suffer from unwanted SMS. Customers have also complained to BTRC many times about the issue.
BTRC had directed mobile phone operators to keep these SMS opt-out options for customers several years ago and the operators have kept it.
However, this government control organization has started a campaign to create awareness so that customers take the 'Do Not Disturb or DND' service of these closures.
Last Saturday, BTRC started the process of promoting it in the media by giving details about this service.
BTRC says that promotional SMS or campaigns play a helpful role in making mobile operators aware of new services. However, in some cases these SMSs appear annoying to the customer. So customers should take the 'Do Not Disturb' service to stop these.
If you do not want to receive promotional SMS, customers can activate the service by dialing Grameenphone *121*1101#, Banglalink *121*8*6# and Robi and Airtel *7#.
It is to be noted that earlier in October 2018, the parliamentary committee related to the Ministry of Telecommunication and Information Technology had given instructions to be strict to save the customers from the torture of SMS that came even after midnight. BTRC has also taken steps accordingly.
However, a few days ago, BTRC instructed customers not to send any SMS from 12 midnight to dawn.
