Subject: Regarding the attack on privacy by mobile companies
Dear Sir,
Our privacy is indeed at risk due to the aggressive telemarketing fostered and supported by mobile service providers. I cannot understand why mobile companies ask for 90 days to activate a DND (Do Not Disturb) when a SIM is activated within three days of purchase. I have a Reliance mobile connection. I activated DNC (Do Not Call) this December. I was free from unwanted calls just for a month. After that, the whole barrage of calls and messages began again. Now, I have to apply afresh. It will take 90 days to be activated again. I think that the spam SMS senders should be penalised. Only then we might see a stop to this menace.
Yours faithfully
Prachi Mehta
