DND is an acronym for the word “Do Not Disturb”. It is a service introduced by the Nigeria communications commission (NCC) to protect users from unsolicited messages. Users of the DND service cannot receive promotional messages from 3rd parties, including Bulk SMS. This service allows users to dictate the messages they want to receive from various networks and services.

Features of DND Numbers

There are two features of DND numbers, they are:

Full DND: This service allows users to opt out totally from receiving promotional and unsolicited messages from third parties.

Partial DND: This service allows users to filter the promotional messages they want to receive or they do not wish to receive from third parties.

To activate DND, text “STOP” to 2442 via SMS.

To deactivate DND text the word “ALLOW” to 2442 via SMS.

Some users wonder if they are on DND because the DND service has been automatically activated on some numbers before purchase. You can check your status by sending “STATUS” to 2442.

Numbers on DND cannot receive bulk SMS, and this poses a challenge to organizations or individuals sending Bulk SMS to their customers.
