I keep getting random marketing txt from Vodafone on my work mobile, have tried responding STOP but replies cant be delivered. Is there anyway quick way to stop these txts, or do I need to call 777 ?

There is no number these are coming from, they show as coming from "Vodafone" with no other info. The most recent trying to get me to visit Vodafones website to sign up for some draw and get rewards etc... Its a bit of a nuisance because this is my work phone and I have to check every txt as I am on call - was having a nap this afternoon and this unwanted marketing txt from Vodafone came through.

You need to call 777 the CSR can tick one box and they should stop in the next 24 hours

I tried to call 777, can't get hold of a real person right now as it's outside of business hours apparently. Is there a Vodafone rep on this forum who can untick that box for me? Thanks

Same for phone calls from them selling broadband. Have told them previously Im not interested and to not call again, and they called again recently. Assuming it was them since there is no way to know. If it happens again I will be changing company.

I had a marketing call from them previously too but made it very clear I was happy with my current setup and was not interested in changing it. This was a couple of years ago, and I never heard from them again.

I get a call from them about every 6 months or so offering to upgrade my phone plan. "For only a few more dollars a month you can get unlimited data!" they say. "But I don't use all of the data that I get on my current plan" is my reply. "But... unlimited data!" they come back with. "No" is my answer. "Oh, alright then" and then they call again in 6 months or so and we go through the whole thing again.
