I am on airtel prepaid tariff. Is there any way to stop them from sending me their promotional messages. Honestly, I have zero interest in knowing their many tarrif offerings and anything that will make a noticeable difference in my phone spending I am sure I will read about in the media.

How do I stop their incessant messages and fake phone calls..... its truly annoying......., even safcon does it but to a lesser degree. My arguement has always been that all these offers are skewed towards the company. They want you to spend more while making you think you are spending less. It therefore makes no sense to read them or act on them. The only way to reduce my calling costs is if they reduce the whole tarrif or I reduce my calls... period. All other permutations are hogwash ...IMHO

I've blacklisted 3 of their numbers 0732-155247, 0733100301, 0786824711. Those calls r so damn annoying!!

I switched off my line..Airtel iko down. Many annoying messages plus phone calls and the last straw was stealing my airtime and their customer care tries to convince me that i must have subscribed to one of their numerous games,competitions or bought ringtones! Nkt!!!

You have two eyes then.You are not like us


Just been talking to afriend.His small son subscribd to some sijui chanuka 777 or something.He is not able to unsubscribe and he is thinking of throwing away the card....Airtel is "done" by very small "things"...BK!

Anyone ever heard of 'Cheap' is Expensive??! Anyway, Am not one to castigate and not offer a solution.
Solution:
1. Enter kitchen and sharpen knife
2. Shut off the phone and remove the Airtel Sumbua SimCard
3. Chop the Airtel Sumbua SimCard into as many pieces as possible.
4. Keep one small piece as a reminder (kujichuna masikio).
5. Tupia mbwa wako na wa jirani vipande ulivyokatakata
6. Unpack the better option, fix, load and enjoy.
7. Test the M-Pesa by 'throwing something at me' (kunitupia kakitu)
You are welcome!:))

Most annoying is when they call you just to play you the most atrocious music you ever heard! then end by ' you can get this dunda tune by dialling..." NKT!!!!bruury gasket kabisa!

and after bitching about it here they go back to the same problems.. hawawezi tupa hizo simcard za airtel....

Kwanza GUKA i think has separation anxiety with his simcard.. wahindi wamekuroga na hizo roti zao..

tell me about it. yu is even worse, they keep on calling and sending messages every 5 mins. If you are away from your phone for 1 hour there are 20 msgs waiting and atleast 5 missed calls. cck should have laws about this! problem is that its a computer system calling and sending msgs randomnly so it will keep on trying your number using different numbers till it gets through. so i do not think blocking the numbers helps. airtel are clever and just keep on changing the numbers it sends from.

These days i switch off my phone as i go to bed at night. They have a tendency of waking me up just after 4am.
Safcom si sumbua viiiile but credo never lasts on my safcom.

CCK should come to our rescue.
This is harassment/nuisance.
I gez one with money to burn can seek redress in a court of law for private nuisance.

Agreed Djinn....In which case Air-tel Kenya ought to have taken a different approach to this peculiar market.If they insist on doing it their way,it will be a long time before they make a ruppee.....And you just reminded me!.I should port my Airtel sumbua line to Orange.
