Just an update regarding the annoying SMS’s I was getting from the number 50122, I am no longer getting them and no one else is either. It just stopped overnight, my guess is someone saw my post and investigated the incident and shutdown the service. Pretty cool.

Could you please post my case as well???
I receive messages from “Wataniya” everyday.. sometimes twice a day. I also get messages from “1111”, “129”, “1416”, “1600”, “1400”,… most of them Wataniya related. Rest are misc adverts all from three or four digits numbers which I assume are all ad services provided by Wataniya.
“sport news” i would like this type of spam lol
+ if it was free = *mindblown*
I seriously despise those spam messages !
If you are roaming outside Kuwait, it costs you like .200fils to receive these stupid messages. That’s why they do it.
Exactly, and that’s why you’ll tend to get more of them during the summer months cuz a lot of people are out of the country on holidays.
Plus, as far as i know, Wataniya and MTC (dunno about viva) sells the info of roaming customers to advertising companies so that they make money from the ad companies AND from roaming customers receiving SMS – 2in1 !!
From what I understand is you dont pay for incoming SMS’s and that includes SMS’s you receive when roaming.
I dont understand how you call an sms about the great FC Bayern München a spam..

Although Tunisian & Algerian FA’s news / women football news are..!
I called Viva to stop the 50122 messages they never stopped and now I am getting messages form 50123 also, does anyone know how to make then stop?
