Cell C *******ly spamming me and refusing to stop

I am receiving SMSs every day from Cell C all following this format: "Be the first to watch NEW MOVIE TRAILERS and more at only R2/day. Dial *147*6*527# to subscribe! T&Cs. Cell C. To stop reply:out"

Every day I respond with "out", yet I still get them and Cell C charges me for that SMS. Each day is from a different number so blocking the number doesn't even help.

I've contacted Cell C about this and I've also registered on the national opt-out database to no avail. I have also reported this here on Hello Peter before and Cell C assured me they would stop. You can see this thread here: I am receiving SMSs every day from Cell C all following this format: "Be the first to watch NEW MOVIE TRAILERS and more at only R2/day. Dial *147*6*527# to subscribe!

I just received another SMS from cell C trying to sell me a WHATSAPP Status. I've reported Cell C and will be leaving the service. This is disgusting.
