Shabz 8 Report post Posted December 5, 2004 (edited) Today I saw my bill on net they charged me 106 Rs for 53 SMS sent to 1237 but no R connect charges as stated by someone in this post Now comes the main part I rang RCC three times 1 The person says there is no such thing as 1237 and I asked about 8888 he told it is INTERNATIONAL sms ( I was charged 0 for it) I told him to register a complaint he told no He denied anything like 1237 and cut the call 2 The person told there was 1237 but in testing phase and asked me who told about it to me i told RCC he denied it can be true and told it will be charged as Rs2 when I told the bill was of nov he told all other sms services r charged Rs 2 and it was never stated to be free I told it was there in reliance site He denied and refused to take the complaint after 18 minutes of arguement he cut the call 3 This time the person was a bit patient one he listened to the complaint and told it was data charges I had to tell him to look at the bill carefully then he got my point and after a long wait(with the music on) He agreed to register the complaint and told I will get waiver in the next bill ( which I do not think so ) Will have to go to RWW to clarify this ( I will try my best to get a waiver ) Sorry for the long post will keep u guys informed about this Edited December 5, 2004 by Shabz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a pretty abd experience with the false promises like these that Reliance made to me. I migrated to 399 plan from my original DAPO plan in July..but my subsequent bills showed my charges as per old plan. After lots of fighting and complaints they agreed that my Nov bill would reflect a waiver (the WW guys blamed it on some faulty systems)...but alas...Nov bill has also come with old charges...though I received a sms from them that the plan change would be accepted from dec!!! So the fight is still on... But m surprised that writing a mail to chairman's office generated you a response. I think I'll also do that.... thanks!

Shabz 8 Report post Posted December 5, 2004 Lokesh writing to chairman office is definitely a good idea I find two things good for solving the problem either write to the office or visit the town customer care centre (not the WW) These guys r really helpful and I have got a response everytime I had visited or contacted them Regarding CC it is bull **** and WW guys r ****ers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
