They've been several customer complaints on users who intentionally or otherwise subscribe to services but lack awareness on how to unsubscribe from premium rate services. On 10 Sep 2015 08:57, "Ouya Obunga via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
Dear Listers,
I noticed that Bulk SMS messages sent to Safaricom network now carry the suffix STOP20465 at the end of the message.
On further enquiry, I was informed that any SMS will have a limit of 140 characters instead of the usual 160 characters due to the suffix text.
Anyone from Safaricom to share the rationale behind this?
Best regards,
