Air Asia Incessant Annoying Phone Spam Thai Text Messaging

[HorseDoctor]

Apparently as punishment for once flying Air Asia and giving them my phone number, I now receive scads of text spam, from AirAsia.Com - all in Thai which I do not read. One day I got 10 separate text messages, other days it's only 1 or 2.

There is no way to reply or call back and there is no way to get it to stop loading my in- box with ads .

I've tried calling the Thai " Customer Service" number , it doesn't even ring but just hangs up.

The number in Malaysia has been to lunch for over a month

The ticketing agent at Bangkok Airport said, " yes, cutomers complain all the time that it is impossible to contact the main office .."

Ive tried E- mailing the email on the web site at least half a dozen times, the email gets bounced back with no acknowledgement.

After the 1-2 Go Phuket crash and the revelations on Thai DCA that brought out, I would chew off my left arm rather than fly a budget Asian airline, ( in fact I'll only fly on 2 SE Asian airlines, MY Air and Singapore, anyone else find it... disconcerting that Thai Air is looking for a president in the classifed ads? JHFC !! )

so Air Asia, please stop annoying me.

Any suggestions?

Hi HD,

I apologize, but I do not have a solution, but am wondering if you ticked some box on their site?

For me, this mobile phone thing has been a blessing since they delay their flights quite often, it has saved me from rolling to the airport to find out the flight isn't leaving for three hours.............they notify me of the delay via SMS a couple hours before.

More annoying for me is the crappy music loop they play onboard, which repeats itself........

Well it's possible I did sign up on the site, I flew on it 3 years ago, but now I d not know the password and there seems to be no way of retrieving it-.

I don't dare sign up again as who knows what deluge of spam that will bring.

Please allow me to say...You are taking a real risk flying Asian budget airlinles that simply aren't following industry accepted safety protocol - Air Asia does stuff like changing tires avery 150 landings instead of the recommended 80....OK maybe they land slower or something to justify it but all this adds up and airline crashes usually occur because of a series of mistakes and oversights...

Is it really worth the monetary savings ( and annoying muzac) ?

I get emails from Nok Air. But I'm not complaining. I'm convinced that the pretty girls featured are really secret admirerers. See, they are Friendly and Loveable at heart.

Besides, it's a relief from the usual spam ads promising to give me a full and bigger erection.

Mind you I was less excited when I got an email with a guy featured. I mean jeez, I mean ok, I haven't dated a Nok Air FA yet, but I'm trying. No need for Nok Air to give up on me so fast and offer an alternative.

At least this one delivers?

you got proof that Air Asia doesn't follow safety protocol? Pretty serious allegation there....

also doesn't your rant belong in the travel forum? couldnt you have added it to the dozens of other posts about this same issue and air asia in general?

hmmm I dont get any sms from air asia

I use AirAsia quite a bit, never had any problems and never recieved a text from them. I logged into my account and the only thing I can find is something about subscribing to "red alerts" but it looks like they come via email, I actually get those. Maybe if they don't have an email they send them via text.

They have a feedback form http://www.airasia.com/site/my/en/faqDetailsForm.jsp You could try sending several requests to stop sending texts everytime they send one. Type it once, save it then cut and paste it and send them the same message over and over and over again till they get the message.

You can retrieve the password but you have to know the sign in name you used, but I guess if you could remember that then you would have done that already.

I have never used Air Asia and I get the same annoying messages. Not only that I can't even read thai. I think it is a 'benefit' of you having a SIM in Thailand.

I thought I did get one message for every time I flew them, therefore receiving 22 identical sms's
