Mimobi TV offered by Apalya Technology Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with BSNL
Cheating by Apalya Technology Pvt. Ltd. offering Mimobi TV in connivance with BSNL

It is respectfully submitted that on 12.04. I subscribed for mobile TV to watch IPLT20 Match by after knowing about it through BSNL Live Portal. Later on, I came to know that this service is being provided by M/s Apalya Technologies Pvt. Limited in the name of Mimobi TV. After sending SMS for downloading their software on my Nokia N97 handset, I got the link and following message:

55447 :Your password to store the APN settings is 1234.Please save the APN settings that comes to your mobile and select this APN for giving the request. 3 days ago

Thereafter I subscribed for watching the IPLT20 match for one day which they are offering @ Rs.10/ per day and got the following two messages from them:

554471010 :Thanks for ur DLF IPL Daily subscription of Rs.10/-.Ur Subscription renews on 12/4/10 23:55:44.SMS unsub3g to 55447 to unsubscribe. 3 days ago

554471010 :Thanks for ur DLF IPL Daily renewal for Rs.10/-.Ur Subscription renews on 12/4/10.SMS unsub3g to 55447 to unsubscribe

As I was not satisfied with the quality of video they were streaming for the match, I unsubscribed the same from the software itself. Still I received the following message, the next day:

55447 :MIMOBITV: DLF IPL/DAY RS.10 Subscription will renew in next 2 hour (s). To stop service SMS DLFUNSUB3G to 55447

I did SMS “DLFUNSUB3G” and sent it to 55447 as was advised in above sms. Still I got the following SMS informing me about renewal:

554471010 :Thanks for ur DLF IPL Daily renewal for Rs.10/-.Ur Subscription renews on 13/4/10.SMS unsub3g to 55447 to unsubscribe. 2 days ago.

I again sent SMS to unsubscribe on 55447 as suggested there in. Again on 14th April I received following message from them:

55447 :MIMOBITV: DLF IPL/DAY RS.10 Subscription will renew in next 2 hour (s). To stop service SMS DLFUNSUB3G to 55447 Yesterday

I again sent sms to unsubscribe but got blank reply from them as can be seen hereunder:

55447 :

Thereafter I once again got the message about renewal of service through following message:

554471010 :Thanks for ur DLF IPL Daily renewal for Rs.10/-.Ur Subscription renews on 15/4/10.SMS unsub3g to 55447 to unsubscribe.

Under these circumstance, I went on net and searched for their site to write to their customer support and after finding their email id, I wrote following email and got a response from them also. I am pasting my email and their response:

I had subscribed for iplt20 on my handset having number 9455002628. Now when I want to unsubscribe and send sms DLFUNSUB3G on your number 55447, I receive the following message

I am being charged Rs.10/ for the last 2 days though I don't want to subscribe as I have found your service lacking desired bandwith on my BSNL 3G connection and I was not able to watch uninterrupted match. It was giving message processing and the pictures were not clear and were breaking.

Kindly help me to unsubscribe.

I did sent SMS as suggested by them and got the following message:

55447 :No Subscription Exists With MimobiTV. Kindly Check. About 22 hours ago.

Then I again got the following message from them:

55447 :MIMOBITV: DLF IPL/DAY RS.10 Subscription will renew in next 2 hour (s). To stop service SMS DLFUNSUB3G to 55447 About 16 hours ago.

I sent SMS once again two times and got following reply:

55447 : About 16 hours ago.

55447 :No Subscription Exists With MimobiTV. Kindly Check. About 16 hours ago.

Thereafter I got receiving frequent messages for renewal of service from them and for each message I was being charged @ Rs.10/ per message. I once again lodged complaint through email which is reproduced here under:

Hey So Called Support Team,

I did what ever you have suggested here under and you know the result? Instead of unsubcribe, for which i sent repeated sms and emails to you, you started sending messages the whole night and each time charged Rs.10/ from my balance? I have been receiving messages whole night from you and each time you have deducted Rs.10/ from my balance. I have downloaded all those messages and reproducing hereunder.

Now I have decided to deal with you. Take the remaining balance also and that will force me to leave the BSNL Service also. But then I will be doing every thing against you and BSNL whatever I can do.

Be prepared for all the consequences.

The above is the true story of Cheating by Apalya in connivance with BSNL where in I have been cheated to sustain a loss of more than Rs.500/ in making SMS, Call and above mentioned service renewal messages.

If necessary I will adduce further proof as to how I have been dealt by customer service of Apalya and BSNL.

I request you to kindly investigate the complaint and take all such actions as are necessary in the wider interest of general public in order to avoid consumers being cheated like this.
