We are also facing the same irritiating problem from BSNL service with unwanted messages for listening to hindi songs in radio. Yes, something has to be done on this.

On the website of the company U can get address of NODAL OFFICER of the company. U represent to him by email. If he does not help U in 30 days, U can file appeal with the appellate authority, whose address is on company website-customer grievance redressal icon. If he does not help in 3 months, U can file complaint with Consumer Forum in your district place under Consumer Protection Act.
