[Resolved]  Vodafone — Unsoliciited messages appearing on screen (not sms)

We keep getting these unsolicited messages on screen in the form of quizzes and tips.
If you press the OK button, you get charged for it so you have to press the "Back" or the "Cut" button.
We have two vodafone post paid cell connections and we are registered on the "Do Not Disturb Registry of india".

These unsolicited messages which appear on the screen cause the following probles:
1) They are unsolicited;
2) If you press "OK" by mistake you get charged for it;
3) You have to press "Back" or "Cut" so that you do not get charged for it;
4) The phone light becomes on when the message comes thereby consuming lot of energy and phone needs to be charged again and again;
5) These messages come throughtout the day and night.
6) I have old parents for whom getting rid of these quizes and tips becomes difficult and if they innocently press the "OK" button we get charged for it;

Vodafone is a nuisance.

[censored] you Vodafone Customer Service, you disingenuous . Why don't you post a message explaining how to get rid of these services, instead of your "please share your details". It's clear what Vhatkar's problem is, its very nicely put.

I am also facing this same problem... its too iritating.. what s the solution for it... we jus need the solution for this prob.. what else to share to you..its all clearly explained by Vhatkar
Hi Vodafone Customer Care,

I am also facing the same issues. I am tired of trying every option on my phone. In fact, the "FLASH" option does not open on my Nokia phone. If there is a way out on this please let everyone know.

I am fed up of these messages and on the verge of switching to another provider.
Hi everyone !

Here is the solution for the problem

The messages came from a Vodafone Service called "FLASH!" and turned off by Menu->"Vodafone Services"->FLASH!->Activation and selecting Deactivate.

Regards

Hello,
I m also fed-up with this messages that keep on coming again & again. If vodafone is sending messages to the people who are registered to DND (Do Not Disturb), then isn't that an violation of law.
Thanks Waqar! you saved my mobile...
Vodafone care is all they donot have manners how to talk and and I think lack trainings.
First they dont habe the solution then they say voice is breaking, if the voice is breaking, what the hell your GSM engineers are doing...???
