Following the mandate issued by the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) to the telecommunication operators in Nigeria to implement Do-Not-Disturb (DND) starting from July 1, 2016, there has been general issue with GSM Networks (MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9Mobile) in Nigeria not delivering bulk SMS to some mobile phone numbers.
