Idea Cellular Ltd. — getting near 20 unwanted message from 58888 daily

i recharged my mobile no [protected] on 23march08 and was inormed through sms that my validity is now upto 22 Oct08. However my phone was rendered dead on 3 sept 08 as i did not use it for sometime having misplaced it and on this pretext my registration was cancelled.I want to know on what grounds has the sim been made dead or is it at the whims and fancies of the customer department.

I have been getting stupid and useless messages from this indiatimes number 58888 for more than 6 months now. I tried sending the STOP message to 58888, but the reply i got was as follows:

"sms STO followed by full company name to get quotes.
PG Foils Ltd.
PG Capital Ltd.
PH Capital Ltd., etc..."

This has become such a nuisance that i'm going to complaint to the highest authority that regulates the mobile service providers, and if there be no action from them, i think i'll have to move the court.

I don't know how i got subscribed to this idiotic messages, because i have not sent any messages to 58888 from my mobile phone myself.

There should be clear legislation to regulate these sort of public nuisance, and these type of companies should be heavily fined for making such sort o[censored]nwanted headache to the public.

The funny thing is that, if we send any message to this number, an amount of Rs.3/- is deducted from our account.
These are very stupid, disgusting, irritating and useless messages, and whatever stupid name that come across your mind.
