How do I know if I have active subscriptions on my cell phone<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Recently, a friend has discovered that he has accidentally activated a\u00a0Value Added Service<\/em>\u00a0(\u00a0VAS<\/strong>\u00a0), or one of those subscription services that allow you to receive news, games, wallpapers, videos, and more on your mobile weekly or monthly payment of a small amount of money.\u00a0Since you also suspect that you have accidentally activated one of these subscription services, you have been asked between yourself and you:\u00a0How do I know if I have active subscriptions on my mobile<\/strong>?\u00a0If you’re done with this tutorial, you obviously have not solved your doubts yet.\u00a0I guessed, right?\u00a0Well, in this case, you have no reason to keep worrying: I’m here to help you.<\/p>\n

In the next paragraphs, in fact, I’ll tell you by thread and sign how can you figure out if you’ve activated a subscription service by checking the last SMS you received, tracking your remaining credit, contacting your operator or checking your account on the Internet site Mobile Pay, a platform through which many VASs are delivered. I hope that your suspicions are unfounded and that you have not activated any unwanted subscription, but even if that is not the case, you have no reason to fear: deactivating value-added services is not too complicated to complete.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s talk about the bans and let’s get right in the middle of this post.\u00a0So be comfortable with it, focus on reading the next paragraphs and implement the tips I’ll give you to see if any VASs are active on your SIM (and then turn them off).\u00a0I wish you good reading and in the mouth to the wolf for everything!<\/p>\n

How to know if there are active subscriptions on the cellphone<\/h2>\n

There are several ways to\u00a0know if there are active subscriptions on your cell phone<\/strong>.\u00a0You can check the latest SMS received to check the notification of activating a new subscription service, you can check the remaining credit of your SIM to find out whether any money from any active VAS has been drawn or you can contact your customer’s customer care.\u00a0Find everything explained in detail in the next paragraphs.<\/p>\n

Check the last received SMS<\/h2>\n

Perhaps it may seem trivial as a solution, but\u00a0checking the last received SMS\u00a0<\/strong>may reveal whether you have activated a subscription service on your SIM.\u00a0When a VAS is activated, in fact, an SMS is usually sent to the user, explaining the details of the service, and providing instructions on how to deactivate it (which I will discuss later in this post).<\/p>\n

Maybe you’ve lost sight of the text in question because of the flood of notifications you receive every day from\u00a0WhatsApp,\u00a0Telegram\u00a0and all the other instant messaging app, so I invite you to better control the app\u00a0Messages<\/strong>\u00a0of your smartphone.<\/p>\n

Did you just delete all the received texts and themes that you can not verify the presence of any messages regarding the activation of subscription services?\u00a0Be calm and do not lose your mind.\u00a0Try\u00a0retrieving the deleted SMS\u00a0\u00a0by reading the guide in which I explain how to do this.\u00a0If you do not want to do so, use one of the alternative methods listed below to find out if your subscription services are accidentally activated on your SIM.<\/p>\n

Check the remaining credit<\/h2>\n

Checking the remaining credit<\/strong>\u00a0is another great way to check for active subscriptions on your SIM.\u00a0As I said before, subscription services take small amounts of money weekly or monthly from the user’s phone bill that activated them.\u00a0For the above reason, check your credit periodically (and maybe say somewhere): if you even take a few cents each week for unattended services, you obviously mistakenly activated a VAS.<\/p>\n

Do not know how to check the remaining credit on your SIM?\u00a0Usually, you can do this by sending an SMS to the number assigned by your operator, using the\u00a0official app<\/b>\u00a0of the latter or contacting customer service<\/a>.\u00a0If you have trouble checking the remaining credit on your SIM, read one of the following guides I’ve prepared for the topic and you’ll find below.<\/p>\n

Contact your operator<\/h2>\n

Contact your operator<\/strong>\u00a0is the best way to know if subscription services are activated on your SIM.\u00a0By contacting your manager’s customer care, you can ask the operator you will be contacted to check for any active subscription services on your SIM and ask for their simultaneous deactivation (as well as repayment of the sums you have already drawn, if the subscriptions have been subscribed for 7 days or less).<\/p>\n

Here are the numbers to contact the Customer Service of the major Italian operators.\u00a0However, do not hesitate to read the articles that you find below for more explanation on what number combinations you need to perform to talk to a “flesh and bone” operator and to know how to receive social or online assistance.<\/p>\n
