Tech NEWS and REVIEWS: How to stop Promotional SMS

Using mobile phone has become one of the regular parts of our life. Some mobile users feel serious disturbances when they receive one after one promotional sms offer from their operators. Peoples are searching on the internet to find such type of solutions always ‘how to stop Robi promotional sms, GP promotional sms off, how to stop promotional messages, stop Banglalink promotional sms or stop Airtel promotional sms etc.

The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) which is the regulatory body to monitor all such type of activities in the country, said that the 'Do Not Disturb (DND)' service will stop the flow of promotional SMS on mobile phones. User now can stop thiese services if they don’t want.

All the mobile operators have introduced the options of blocking such type of promotional SMS offer for their customers following instructions of BTRC.

On April 24th, 2021, the BTRC announced in a statement that promotional SMS / campaigns help mobile phone operators learn about the latest services and offers. But it seems annoying to get promotional SMS / campaigns from the field especially to some customers. Therefore, 'Do Not Disturb' service can be launched to further improve the quality of customer service.

I have received an SMS from BTRC saying that ‘If you do not want to receive promotional SMS on your mobile, you can start the 'Do Not Disturb' service by dialing the USSD code, otherwise please don’t’.

The solution for GP Promotional SMS off:

Dial: * 121 * 1101 # from Grameenphone

How to stop Robi promotional SMS:

Dial: * 7 #

How to stop Airtel Promotional SMS:

Dial * 7 #

How to stop Banglalink Promotional SMS:

Dial: * 121 * 8 * 6 #

Though the service is not new but due to a lack of publicity and awareness, many people do not know about the ‘Do Not Disturb’ service. Recently following the instructions of the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission, all the operators have re-introduced the service.

Now stop getting annoying promotional SMS from your operators which they send from dawn to sometimes even after midnight. Enjoy!

But, I think only few important / busy people will activate the DND services. Lots of Smartphone users are looking for such type of offers (MB / Minute Bundle / FB / Youtube etc).
