There had been an app in android known as "ussd blocker" with which we were able to block such messages... Sadly nothing like that is available in WP.. I had asked some developers to create some app like that.. No one could do that till date...

[Asif Salam]

I have searched a lot for an app like ussd blocker in android for WP 8.1 . But bad luck..am going to stop using Lumia only because of this issue.Its really annoying for me.Because of this issue am keeping my phone in silent always and am missing so many calls and notification due to this.

Its on your operator. I use Vodafone 3g on my lumia 925 i never get such notifications. Try activating DND that might help you.

Are you talking about text notifications?

[Aniket Mhatre]

No he is not talking about text messages. He is talking about data usage notifications which is a kind of service from operator to notify you how much you used your data and how much data is left. I never got such notifications so i can't share a screenshot of it to show. OP if possible can you share screenshot of that notification for xandros?

[Aniket Mhatre]

A simple example if you have used a prepaid sim after ending a call you get a pop up message informing you your call cost and remaining balance similarly you get such pop ups for mobile data.

Wow that sounds annoying as hell. I'm glad I've never been on a carrier dumb enough to think that's still necessary.

[xandros9]

Because could OP use the call+message filter to block out those texts? unless they use something else..

[Maaz Mansori]

Have you updated to Windows Phone 8.1? If so, do these USSD messages show up in Action Center?

[Asif Salam]

Don't know how can I attach a snap from wc app....am using developer preview 8.1
It will not show up in action centre.its a flash/ussd message

Hello Xandros,
Please ccheckout this link http://1drv.ms/1qM2KB7 for attached screenshot.Thanks for your supports 😊

I tried filters,but the funniest part is that these messages are flash messages or ussd messages which doesn't have a sender number to filter out :p

[xandros9]

Woah that dialog is out of the jurisdiction of the call+sms filter.

I dont know if there's a setting we can flip. (maybe in field test?)

but perhaps the carrier can shut them off somehow.

[Asif Salam]

No way to shut then off from user level 😓
Service provider should be kind enough to shut them off from his system.

Call your service provider or port it to vodafone 😉

[Asif Salam]

No need...am gonna switch to a postpaid plan 😃

[11ty1]

So I went to Call + SMS filter.
Then advanced settings.
I then enabled 'Block withheld numbers'.

It seems to have worked for me so far.
Will edit this post if the data alerts start again. But so far, so good.

Cheers.
