Every few days, my TATA DOCOMO displays a message via prompt (just like balance prompt). "Press OK to subscribe to hot babes @ Rs. 30 per month" or "Press OK to download so-and-so game @ Rs. 75", etc. :|
There is no "Cancel" option. Only option is "OK". n00bs / unaware people will press "OK" in a hurry - and they'll be ripped off. People like me who are aware of this shit will simply press phone's Red button to dismiss the prompt.
10 out of every 100 people (as mentioned in this thread) will press "OK" not knowing that they're going to be ripped off. Moreover, they won't even notice that they are being looted every month in a systematic way.
Also, TATA DOCOMO sends promo MMS every couple of weeks. Mobile auto-downloads these MMSs and that attracts data transfer charges, which are deducted from you account without even informing you.
All this shit is happening in spite of my number being present in the NDNC/NCPR registry. All telecos are chor but TATA DOCOMO is the biggest chor of them all. :
