Until last week I was receiving mobile alerts for new email messages received in my Hotmail accounts through Reliance Prepaid and Postpaid connections. These were received as SMS messages. If I wanted to see the full message or reply to them, Reliance was charging Rs 2/- per SMS. Incoming was gratis, of course. However, these messages stopped coming from last week. When I contact technical support of Microsoft, they quickly 'passed the buck' to the mobile service provider, namely, Reliance. I called up Reliance in Mumbai and after a long wait (15 minutes, at least as I did not time the wait) a customer service executive came on the line and told me they had no such mobile alert service. . I told him I was subscribed to such a service and requested him to the technical support please to resolve the issue. Nope. The call was disconnected politely but without a resolution.
My question to the forum members is: how to get over the glitch. Friends who have Vodafone, Tata Indicom and Airtel connections are not facing this problem. On trying to re-register for the service, a screen with a box to type in the four-digit confirmation code appeared. However, since I did not receive the code on my mobile, I could not respond. That is where it stands. Please help with any suggestions. Thanks. R. Chandrasekhar.
