At 9:14am today (9th July), I received the following sms from Idea Cellular (IZ-IDEACL):
Your subscription to Love 360 Daily is activated @ Rs 1 for 1 Day.
To deact SMS UNSUB ZQLVD to 55456.
A few minutes after I saw the messge, I sent an sms to 55456 with the message UNSUB ZQLVD. Promptly, I got the following confirmation message:
Your request to unsubscribe from ZQLVD has been registered.
Now, here is my complaint:
1. I never asked for this service to be activated, so who gave Idea Cellular the right to activate a service without first seeking the customer's concurrence?
2. On top of this, I had to spend time to read this message, to send the deactivation message to Idea Cellular, and end up paying Rs 3/- for the message. The least Idea Cellular should do is to cancel the Rs 3/- charge and restore the balance, along with an apology to the customer. And, if the customer so prefers, stop repeating such acts.
Thank you.
