Recently, I have started receiving messages from certain 5 digit numbers in my Airtel connection. Most of the time, the contents are obscene in nature. I don't know how it started, but I used to get at least 3 per week till yesterday. Yesterday, I complained to Airtel CC about this. After that, I got 4 today! Some of my friends are also getting the same kind of messages. It is not a normal SMS. I think it is an MMS, but my phone doesn't allow me to open them.

Some of the numbers are:
56363
55381
56060
55435

After getting 4 messages today, I called Airtel CC again. The person told me that they can't do anything about this and asked me to get a new number!

What should I do in this case? I already has registered in DNC long back. But since we live in India, it's no surprise that nobody follows rules...:@
 
The messages are from airtel itself(or atleast the links they contain lead to wallpaper and game downloads on airtel live)
I also started getting them a few days back.
Lodges a complaint under NDNC yesterday for 3 of the numbers.
Today I am getting the messages from different numbers(but same type of msg)
Try to forward the message on your phone. it will often display the contents of the message
 
I used to get those 3-4months back. Then signed up for DNC, then they stopped. But again started getting those from last 4-5days. Its really irritating. Just waiting for number portability.
