Activating or Deactivating BSNL Value Added Services (VAS) Code Procedure
In today's digital age, managing your mobile services is crucial. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) offers Value-Added Services (VAS) to its mobile users, but sometimes, these services can lead to unwanted charges. Here's a guide on how to deactivate BSNL VAS on your mobile phone.
Deactivating BSNL VAS via SMS
To deactivate a specific VAS, send an SMS with the text "STOP [service name]" or just "STOP" to 123 or a specific short code assigned to the service. For instance, if you want to cancel a caller tune subscription, SMS "STOP" to 56789 (the number may vary depending on the VAS).
Alternatively, you can send "STOP ALL" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" to 123 to deactivate most promotional and value-added services.
Contacting BSNL Customer Care
Another way to deactivate BSNL VAS is by contacting BSNL Customer Care. Dial 1503 from your BSNL number or 1800-180-1503/1800-425-1957 from any phone. Inform the executive that you want to deactivate all or specific VAS. They will guide you through the process, verify your identity, and process your request.
USSD Codes (if applicable)
Dial USSD code *123# to access the BSNL VAS menu and deactivate services through the interactive menu.
Manual Deactivation at Service Center
Visit the nearest BSNL Customer Service Center with valid ID proof. Request deactivation of VAS; the staff will assist you.
Checking Your Subscribed VAS
To check your subscribed VAS, send an SMS "STATUS" to 155223. The status of existing services on your phone can also be checked through this method. The IVRS announcements will provide information on the activation of VAS Services on your phone.
Additional Tips
- Always check your subscribed VAS by sending an SMS "STATUS" to 155223 or through the USSD menu.
- Keep track of subscription confirmation or deactivation SMS from BSNL.
- Some VAS require specific codes; check the BSNL official site or customer care for those.
Once you've deactivated a service, you'll receive a final confirmation message confirming that the services are deactivated on your phone. To confirm the check on your phone, you can call 155223. This check can be done for both Postpaid and Prepaid SIM cards.
By following these steps, you can avoid unwanted charges on your BSNL mobile number and maintain control over your subscriptions. Happy managing!
