How do you know? I mean it's not like GSM...

@rajanmehta .. your case is unique one! Because I am using MTS since their launch in Kolkata in 2009 and never faced any such problem.

99% chance is that the culprit is the local vendor from whom you took the connection or made a recharge.

[rajanmehta 4,056]

I took the connection from the only MTS Official Gallery here and the recharge was done by me online on MTS Website.

The calls coming from number 01401753863 are from MTS automated system which when just picked up activates VAS packs.

Don't think the other vendors may have have any control over it.

@ Rajan ji, the simplest way to block these is to install Mr. Number from Play store and block pesky calls by choosing "All numbers begining with" option (in your case it will be 140 or 0140). This works flawlessly. I use it.

MTS has automated system of these calls which changes the caller number always, so you cannot block a single number. And the interesting fact is that as Mr. Number starts blocking these calls, you will stop receiving these calls eventually after some time (as in my case). So, go for Mr. Number and get rid of this problem.

Unfortunately i am not using an android handset with MTS connection.

^ and above all, as all telemarketing numbers (including numbers belonging to telecom operators), starts from 0140, even the verification calls are being made by these numbers. So, blocking or not attending calls from those nos. would lead to deactivation/suspension of the number (facing this issue with idea preapid - fancy no.) and struggling to get that no. reactivated (paid premium for that fancy no. to the retailer)..

Rajan Kaka, MTS is playing Dirty Games with you.

It will be good if we can teach them the lesson through PGP Portal. I think you would have already initiated the same.

I knew service calls for subscriber verification are also from numbers starting with 0140, so I blocked the numbers starting with 0140/140 only after my number got verified. I too use a vanity BSNL number ported to MTS.

IMO, every one should activate DND after taking connection.

I also did same thing with MTS (WB) and never faced any wrong deduct of balance,

After that, I got a new idea connection with Rs.30 main balance but i did'nt start DND so all the balance got deducted without making a single call, then i activated DND then got rid of balance deduct!

[rajanmehta 4,056]

UPDATE:

Again today approx. Rs 39 deducted by way of activating some cricket news pack/Caller Tunes without doing anything on my part.

DND is already active since long.

When called up to complain, the CC had the balls to tell why don't you use these services, they're nice.

Now even after lodging the complaint, their automated looting machine is still trying to activate further new services but can't because the balance remaining is just 14 paise and this error SMS keeps on coming..

Dear Customer you don't have sufficient balance to subscribe to this service. Kindly recharge or top-up your account and try again.

I don't have the patience/energy everytime to waste my time with this buggers.

Will just throw away the SIM Card.

[sujit_k 141]

rajan ji..

Change ur operator instead, if u want to save the number.

Otherwise write a mail to their higher ups asking how they took the written confirmation before activating the service and when did they inform u 3 days before service renewal date.

MTS is trying hard to become Reliance... Looks like they can...

[volstagg 24]

^^^^^ I would say that mts has surpassed reliance with these kind of actions

[KanagaDeepan 1,084]

NO.... Million more miles to go for MTS to become Reliance... But looks like surely they have that talent...

[aalok 442]

^ because there are many ex-rcom employees in mts..

[sougatadc 358]

^

True.

[rakeshbagla 1]

[gpkumaran 21]

AFAIK, MTS dont do dirty tricks.. I`ve been using 3 mts numbers for about 2 and 1/2 yrs as of now and they have never deducted a paisa unnecessarily..

[ni0987 179]

Two days back I got a new MTS(Delhi) number for my father.

Haven't activated DND till now.

Not a single promotional SMS/call till now.

I'm just waiting for this to happen.

[gpkumaran 21]

@ni0987 oh promo calls/sms will come. no doubt in that.. i only wanted to say they don deduct money by activating packs on their own..
