My phone had been spammed by Advertisement. And every time travelling overseas, SMS spam alone cost me > RM100.

Unlike phone call, I can't reject unknown SMS been spent to my phone. So can I just disable the SMS roaming?

I need roaming. I don't mind receiving / making calls, but not those rubbish SMS.

I thought they charge only if you send the SMS in roaming mode?

err they should not charge you for receiving SMS while oversea..only when you reply the SMS then they will charge you..
you better check the bill to see if this is correct or not..or else can argue with them coz only charge to those who send SMS and not the one receiving it

Reply STOP to the premium sms you received.
Premium sms charge you for the subscription fee, the receiving of sms is free.
