Etisalat are committed to keeping their customers up to date with the latest offers and best deals. Customers who are happy with their current package can now opt out of receiving promotional SMS’ thanks to an innovative solution from Etisalat.
We have listened to our customers and worked with the TRA (Telecoms Regulatory Authority) and can now offer you a convenient option to stop receiving promotional marketing SMS’. All you need do is send an SMS to 1011 saying “b etisalat” to stop receiving them. If you want to start receiving the SMS’ again you can text “ub etisalat” to 1011.
When asked Khalifa Al Shamsi, Etisalat’s Senior Vice President of Marketing said, “Etisalat has always been extremely attentive towards the needs of its valued customers and it is our responsibility to ensure them maximum flexibility in the way they use and enjoy Etisalat services.
If you’ve turned off the promotional SMS' and still want to see the latest offers just check out the website.

Is it possible that this feature will work in the future with cellphone numbers?
ReplyDelete@Sara Thanks for the comments - this feature works with all mobiles, so you can opt out of receiving promotional SMS. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI guess I wasn't clear with my question, sorry. I meant to ask whether this feature would work with blocking non-promotional SMS's as well. I.e. "b 050 xxxxxxx"
ReplyDeleteI sent the SMS. Then, I recieved this: "Sorry can't process your command. Uknown request
ReplyDeletei just got a response to my sms saying Sorry can't process your command. Unknown Request.
ReplyDeleteHow can we opt out of receiving all promotional SMS from nightclubs, malls, etc.
ReplyDeleteThe bulk of my SMS spam comes from these sources and there is simply no way to stop them.
@Omar Bin Yaroof and @simwhatley: try sending the SMS to 1011 instead of 1010, this should solve the problem.
ReplyDelete@Yousef: Unfortunately there is no way to block SMS' from specific senders at the moment.
@Sara: No, this feature will only work with 'b etisalat'
