How to Stop Digicel Advertising text messages

Danny J Kui
 
After hearing/reading numerous complains about unnecessary Advertising/Promotional Texts from Digicel, I am happy to tell you that there is a way to stop this....

 Send "DND" to 16022: TO STOP DIGICEL ADVERTISING TEXTS

Digicel implemented an opt-out solution in early September 2014. This was done after consultation with the regulator, NICTA (National Information & Communications Technology Authority).

A customer can send a free sms with the letters 'DND' to the code 16022.
Within 48 hours the customer will be put on a blacklist which means they will not get any sms messages/adverts from Digicel other than service messages (eg. network outages, responses to credit top ups).
