Unwanted text messages from TrueMoney/DTAC

[thpitsch]

For about three weeks now, I have been receiving a text message from TrueMoney every day. Always the same text in Thai, with links to some DTAC offers. It is about DTAC Cash Back. The only things I can read are the numbers 99.50 baht and 50%
Who still gets them? and has found a way to use them?
It's only one text message a day, but it's still a nuisance. You can't reply to it, and I couldn't find a central reporting office at True/DTAG. The True and DTAC shops couldn't or wouldn't help me either. And I can't get an answer on Facebook

I guess you bought a package costing 199 baht at some point.

I use AIS but this probably applies to DTAC.

 

Login to DTAC webpage.  If you haven't got a login, register and associate your phone number to your new account.

 

Stumble around in the account settings and somewhere you'll find a setting to turn off junk mail/messaging/notifications.

 

Or download the DTAC app and do the same.  You'll find a setting somewhere. Or you may be able to send a text code that turns the switch on. Just look around the app or website and you'll find something.   I still get one or two a week from AIS that bypass the setting, but better than the five I used to get every day.

Certainly not. But even if it were, the person who sent these SMS 21 times so far must be an idiot. 
Am I really the only one with this problem?

I went to the dtac shop and had the girl turn off the spam. She did something on my phone and keyed in some codes and now the spam has stopped.

You can cut and paste Thai messages into Google translation for English on your tablet/phone, get automatic translation.

I recently bought  Dtac data coverage for 1 day ,for 30 bht.

Everyday since I get a txt . I never open them, I delete it when it comes!

 

Mind you , I never had this happened before . I usually get coverage when  i want to use the GPS  google maps.

Just block them on your messages. Easily done and you won’t get any more messages.

It's the same with AIS, they can be a nuisance.

Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you. The sender (True) as a network operator probably has options that the average mortal doesn't have:
He can apparently cancel the block!
I have now blocked several times and still received more text messages. I then checked and found that the sender was no longer blocked!

To be precise, I checked again after another block. Lo and behold, the sender is not blocked. It cannot be blocked!
