[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — activation of vas (value added service) without consent of subscriber

Address:411001

My no.is [protected]. Some 10 to 12 months back I ported from Aircel to Idea. And though I had already done DND I started getting stupid health related messages from 53131.
WELL HEIGHT OF THIS WAS THAT IT STARTED COMING IN LATE NIGHTS AND EVERY NIGHT 4 TO 5 MESSAGES !!! NOW MOST RIDICULOUS THING WAS THAT MY BALANCE REDUCED BY RS.3/- PER MESSAGE.THE RECEIVER OF THE MESSAGE HAD TO PAY INSTEAD OF SENDER. ☺☺☺☺☺☺
UPON MY COMPLAINTS TO SEVERAL PLACES FINALLY I WAS TOLD THAT YOU HAVE REPLIED(!!!) TO THOSE MESSAGES AND VAS HAS BEEN ACTIVATED !!!
I FAILED TO GET CONNECTED TO 53503 AS WAS TOLD IN THEIR MESSAGE TO CALL TO STOP VAS ☺☺☺☺☺

AFTER WRITING ON NET AND CREATING A SCENE IN THEIR OUTLETS IT FINALLY STOPPED.

NOW ONCE AGAIN ON MY SECOND NUMBER [protected] IT HAS STARTED FROM TODAY MORNING AND I RECEIVED SOME 10 MESSAGES FROM 1 PM TO 5 PM.DEDUCTING MY BALANCE BY 30 RUPEES.ALL MY COMPLAINTS TO THEIR C.C. FELL ON DEAF EARS !!!
FINALLY I COULD SPEAK TO SOME ONE ON 12345 AND LO ! HISTORY REPEATED ITSELF. SAME REPLIES, SAME STUPID EXCUSES, SAME FRAUD, SAME STAND TAKEN BY THEM THAT THERE IS NO 'DND' DONE AND YOU HAVE REPLIED AND
VAS HAS BEEN ACTIVATED !!!

I am looking forward in getting some resolution for my raised issue. Please give me a call on below mentioned number to discuss further.
