********** paid subscriptions

Since Monday (it is now Sunday)I have been getting SMS's stating that I have subscribed to various R3 a day services. Sometimes just once a day and times twice a day. These subscriptions are for Shortflix, Gamezone and Vydozine. From the look of it all TelkomPlus products???

I have not subscribed to any of these products.

Everytime I get an sms I make sure I follow the unsubscribe procedure just in case my account is debited.

I have phoned Telkom's help line. They acknowledge that they can see that I have unsubscribed. And then proceed to tell me I do not have to worry about the sms's as I am on a Top-up contract so my account can not be debited.

I have asked if the subscriptions can't be blocked, they answer that they can not be.

I am annoyed that I am being subscribed to these products on daily basis with out my permission. And even if it is not costing me anything ( I hope) as I am on a top up contract, what about other people who are not?

In my opinion should any mobile provider get complaint like this those subscription products should be discontinued as they are obviously **********.

I am hoping that Trlkom will read this review and sort out the issue. I definetly doubt that I am the person that this is affecting.
