I had requested and activated international roaming pack on my number [protected] for one month beginning feb 15, 2019. At the time i was assured that pack will not be auto-renewed.
Pack got over after 28 days, and that was ok.
Suddenly, i received an email on 1-4-2019 that the pack is activated again. I never requested this activation. The charges for this pack are rs.5999/-., which i am not liable to pay, since i have not requested activation.
Upon complaining on their number they said that this request has been submitted online. This is also a lie as we have not done any such request.
