Hi,
Since 2/3 months I am getting charged under the head "Downloads".
I have chatted / phoned / emailed to Vodafone Support but they provide predefined monotonus answers.
My simple query is : Which are the chargeble websites causing this extra charges and how can I block it so that in future i don't get these charges in my bill.
See my today's chat with Vodafone Support:
