WASP SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT OPTIONS PROVIDED BY SOUTH AFRICA’S
In South Africa, Vodacom, MTN and Cell C have put in place WASP subscription management options to allow consumers to block and unsubscribe from premium rated content billing services from their cellphones. These mobile subscription services are run by WASPs or via a third party using a WASP to deliver mobile content. For Telkom Mobile, you will need to contact their call centre to cancel any subscription.
- Using the USSD string *133*1# subscribers can block all existing and future content billing.
- Contact the Telkom Mobile call centre to cancel a subscription. Call Telkom Mobile on 081 180 or email mobileservice@telkom.co.za.
MTN
- MTN also offers a USSD string (*141*5#) to manage premium content subscriptions, but unlike Cell C’s it doesn’t block all future subscriptions. Instead, users select which services to unsubscribe from.
- If you continue to have issues with a subscription service, email MTN at customerservice@mtn.co.za.
Telkom Mobile
- When asked about its self-service options for WASP subscriptions, Telkom Mobile said it does not offer an option for WASPs to charge for subscription services.
- The operator previously told MyBroadband that it already has a double opt-in system in place, but has since said that it will be making an announcement involving its recently launched Event Billing soon.
Vodacom
Vodacom users can unsubcribe from all WASP services by sending “STOP ALL” to 30333.
Should you be subscribed to WASP services, you should receive the response “Your Vodacom request to delete all WASP service has been logged”. According to Vodacom, you should then receive messages of the format, “You have been unsubscribed from ‘SERVICE’ with effect from ‘DATE’”.
If you are not currently subscribed to any services you should receive the somewhat confusing response, “Your Vodacom request to delete all WASP services has been unsuccessful, Please call Vodacom Customer Care on 082111”.
Vodacom said that it is working on changing this message to say that you are currently not subscribed to any WASP services.
Now you can be free from those annoying SMS from your MTN. More contributions and Experience are welcome, All at the comment box Below. Thanks again for reading this fear..
