Receiving unwanted SMS messages - GSM-Forum

Simon_D · 02-23-2013, 15:05

Hi guys,

I have an iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.2 that is sim locked to the Swiss Sunrise provider. I am using an X-SIM card version 4.18 to activate and unlock this iPhone and use it on a belgium network.

Now, everything works just fine but I am constantly receiving expensive SMS messages from a local content provider. It seems like every time I restart my iPhone I am automatically subscribed to some kind of SMS service. This is costing my a lot since every SMS they send me costs 2 EURO.

I'm already trying to block this service through my network provider, but this procedure will take some time. I am just wondering how this is possible? Because I don't have this issue when just using my normal SIM card in a non-locked iPhone.

Do you guys have any insights on this? Or suggestions to cope with this?

This issue is not caused by Xsim, I recommend call service provider and block it, or use I blacklist to stop the texts.
