A few weeks ago, I received a message from my mobile service provider that I have been assigned a certain ringtone and would be charged Rs3 per day plus tax. Since I had not asked for any ringtone, I was able to get myself unsubscribed after going through the procedure. On March 27, I called a friend and got an audio message that his phone was powered off. Since when and why have the service providers started giving unwanted services to their users without their consent? The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority should restrain all the service providers from adding extra paid services unless specifically requested.
