Telcos should stop unwanted services to consumers: CCC

Apex body of Indian consumer organisations, Consumer Coordination Council (CCC) today demanded that telecom players should stop unwanted services.

"We will send all the resolutions to the Consumer Affairs Ministry, telecom operators and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI),"CCC Present Chairman Krishna Reddy told reporters here.
Meanwhile as per the new rules, consumers can register complaint about wrongful activation of value added services (VAS) like mobile Internet and caller tunes on a new common number, 155223, for all operators.
