Getting messages from unwanted and unknown numbers is one of the most annoying things. Telecommunication companies are mostly fond of doing this. They mostly flood our inbox with promotional packages and deals which we may not be interested.
One of such messages that gets me bored is that from 787 lotteries. I realized I am not alone; a lot of people have been receiving unwanted text messages from 787 lotteries in Ghana.
Over the past days, I have done a detailed search on the internet to find out how I can block these unwanted messages. Thankfully I found a solution.
Of course, the National Communications Authority (NCA) says, to block a sender from sending unwanted messages, simply send stop to the sender’s number.
Unfortunately, messages from 787 lotteries do not have a specific number and therefore the above approach may not work. See below the complete to stop messages from 787.
