Sick of text messages from O2

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi, how the heck do I get O2 to stop sending me several texts a day with 'information' I don't give a stuff about? I already phoned the number to specify I don't want to subscribe to any marketing information, I texted STOP to 81145 and 20502.

For example, the latest message that came in while I was literally just writing this message says "Discount from O2: Thanks for chatting with us yesterday. To say thanks for using our online chat service we are offering 20% off accessories...", etc etc blah blah. For God's sakes, stop sending me incessant messages- I only bought this SIM card to stay in touch with ONE person, and when I hear a text message, I don't want it to be from O2!!!

Went into "My Choices" in "My O2", and despite having opted out of everything by phoning a number a few days ago, yep, there were some ticks for rubbish I couldn't care less about. So I opted out of everything, we'll see how it goes...

No, just got another one:

 

"Hello. I'm Toby, one of the O2 gurus. It's my job to get you started with O2. I'll text you occasionally to help you get the most from your phone..." etc etc blah blah.

 

How the hell do I make this stop?!?! I don't want condescending 'helpful' messages constantly harassing me from O2.

It's worse than the talking Microsoft paperclip.

I will consider changing to a different SIM card- I only want this account to text message one person- O2 are taking the **bleep**.
