Hi,
I keep getting data usage messages from idea (for even low usage - for example, call charge Rs. 0.01 for data usage of some ridiculously low amount). These messages aren't like normal SMS and completely overlay my screen and need to be dismissed before I can use the phone. If I get 10 messages, then I have to dismiss all of them before using the phone. Sometimes, I get these messages every 10-15 mins and at times between half an hour - depending on the amount of background data usage.
I spoke to Idea customer care and they asked me to disable all background services like Whatsapp (which I don't want to do - I'd rather get these messages than do something as drastic as that). After that, they asked me to send a message STOP to 58595. After doing that I got a message saying that they are processing my request to stop CBC Flash messages, but, nothing after that....and I still get these messages. Is there anyway to stop them (in TamilNadu)? Thanks
