How to Opt Out of Unwanted Airtel Promotions & Flash Messages (2025 Guide)

Tired of constant Airtel pop-ups, flash messages, and promo SMS? This 2025 guide shows how to stop and unsubscribe from all Airtel promotional messages using simple USSD codes and SMS options.

Why You Keep Receiving Airtel Flash Messages & Promotions

Airtel automatically subscribes users to:

• Flash messages (those annoying pop-ups after calls)
• Promotional SMS about bundles and services
• Service alerts you never asked for (caller tunes, games, etc.)

These messages:

• Drain your phone battery
• Interrupt your activities
• Sometimes lead to accidental subscriptions and airtime deductions

How to Stop Airtel Flash Messages in 2025

To disable Airtel flash pop-ups (a.k.a. Airtel Now or Call Management Services):

Method 1: Stop via USSD

1. Dial *121*5#
2. Select option for "Stop flash messages"
3. Confirm deactivation

You’ll no longer get those annoying pop-ups after every call.

 

How to Stop Airtel Promotional SMS Messages

Method 1: Send STOP Command via SMS

• Text STOP to 2442 (no charge)
• This stops all third-party promotional SMS and bulk messages

Method 2: Use Do-Not-Disturb (DND) Settings

To manage specific types of promo messages:

1. Send HELP to 2442
2. Follow the reply instructions to choose what to stop (ads, banking, etc.)

How to Cancel Airtel Value-Added Services (VAS)

Some services auto-renew and cause unwanted deductions.
To unsubscribe:

Method 1: USSD Code

• Dial *305# or *121*5#
• Go to Manage My Services
• Choose any active service and cancel

Method 2: SMS

• Send STOP to 155 to cancel caller tunes
• Or send STOP [ServiceCode] (if known) to 251 or 55055

Example: STOP GAME or STOP MUSIC

Tip: Use the Airtel Thanks App

You can manage promotions and active services via the app:

1. Download Airtel Thanks App
2. Log in > Tap "My Account"
3. Go to "Manage Services" > Deactivate anything unwanted

Flash messages and promo spam can be frustrating. Thankfully, Airtel provides easy options to opt out and stop them for good.

Whether it's via SMS, USSD, or the Airtel Thanks App — you can take back control in just a few steps.
