What is GP Promotional SMS?
GP Promotional SMS refers to the marketing and advertising messages sent by Grameenphone to its users. These messages often include special internet offers, recharge bonuses, service updates, and promotional deals from third-party partners.
These SMS are usually sent in bulk to all users and can arrive at any time of the day, often disturbing sleep, work, or personal time. That’s why many users prefer to turn them off for a better and more peaceful mobile experience.
