I have a PAYG account. I use it for voice and text. I only use it for data when I have a WiFi connection. I do not have a data plan. I do not want a data plan. I have no intention of getting a data plan.
Every few days I get an alert of a text message, quickly grab my phone to check in case it's an urgent message, and find that it is YET ANOTHER IDENTICAL TEXT from 150 telling me "To use data on your phone, you'll need an add-on or pack. Click here to buy"
These are getting extremely annoying as they keep interrupting me.
I have looked all through the app and this site and cannot find a way to tell you I KNOW ALREADY! STOP SENDING ME THESE MESSAGES!

Do you just top it up from time to time & just spend that credit directly on making calls & texts at standard rates w/out buying any pack or add-on?
You could try texting STOP to 2040.

Well I could try that. But if that's what I should do why don't they TELL me. Or better, have a STOP link in their message in the first place?

Ah - had a reply. Apparently it takes them THIRTY DAYS for their controlling program to change a binary setting.
What the devil are they using, a mechanical Turing Machine?
