Most of you would have have received a commercial sms on your mobiles very frequently you would have noticed you would get SMS from this address/number A-126333, BZ-55888, BZ-52233 etc etc you might get these spam sms minimum 2 a day, all the the sms contains this kind of prefix this is due to new regulation by TRAI(Telecom Regulatory Authority of India ) to protect interest of consumers on recieving unsolicted Commerical SMS and calls , TRAI ordered all mobile operators in india to prefix the identification tag before sending bulk sms on its network so that the Origin and sender of SMS can be known..
So if you receive a SMS with prefix VX-ICICI then it states V-Vodafone and X-Karnataka TA-ICICI then T states for tata teleservices and A states andhra pradesh and below is the list of codes of service provider and list of codes for states in india
Service Area Code:
Telecom Operator Code:
Though these SMS's is annoying me from past many days today i came to know on how to stop receiving such SMS as my mobile operator is BSNL, BSNL customers can put a break on these kind of sms by sending deactivation SMS request to "DNC DEACT" to 53733 or 3733 in case you like to recieve commercial SMS you can get it activated by sending activation SMS to "DNC ACT" to 53733 or 3733 i think the same SMS works for other operators visit NDC to know More information about this issue. but You might have to wait for 30 - 45 days to stop recieving all kind of crap commercial SMS and calls

very useful
thank you
I use BSNL, on sending the sms as explianed, received acknowledgment within seconds.
Pls advise for Airtel users as well.
Those who want to block spam SMS can try smsblocker application by optinno.
check http://www.smsblocker.in
smsblocker automatically identify spam smses and filter them silently.
No need to maintain black list or add sender in blocklist every time.
Its very handy...
Do try it.....
I am BSNL user when I send sms as DNC DEACT to 53733 .The reply says please send the sms in proper format.Pls help I dont want to get all comercial sms
You really think that by activating DND, these junk smses stop. well, they dont. and in the process, they make a mockery of the Indian law as well, and the government sits with it's thumb up it's noses. no one can do a thing
This is a very useful information, good job
useful for nokia but how about micromax any idea please leave a message

Hi,
I have been pampered all these shitty SMS since I took the Cell one connection. I contacted customer care, they said me send the SMS to 1909, Wait etc...etc..and other shit!
So I searched on the Internet and stumbled on your site. I hope this might stop these shits.
I have already registered at 1909 (airtel)to stop all such services on May 4th, 2011 but i still get these messages everyday. I still have the confirmation message from airtel on this.
Trying to find a way where i can file complaint against Airtel.

If you have an Android Phone, there is a very neat product call SieveSMS available on the Android Market.The app allow blocking of promotional SMS by creating rules for SMS's There is also an option to block all promotional messages that have a numeric sender address.The link to the download is http://bit.ly/m72Ql1 or just search SieveSMS on the Android Market Search.I have been using this app for the last 1 month and it has been working great.No more promotional messages taking my attention.
please advice for idea user
I have been registered with National DO NOT DISTURB them since 2008 but still the trash advertising SMSs keep coming.
One company, fullonsms.com has a "block my number" facility on their website.
But not all bulk sms providers have it. They don't want to stop sending unwanted SMSes.
Who ever reads this...and is tormented by unwanted SMSs.
Please send email to the following bulk sms companies and force them to start an unwanted SMS blocking service. I have already done it.
THE HIGHER THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO SEND EMAIL, THE SOONER THEY WILL STOP SENDING UNWANTED BULK SMS.
(Give them the example of fullonsms.com)
