Help i have just been robbed
by Vincent Wayodi 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

So today I received yet another annoying text message from Airtel. But this one was different. "Things in Airtel HQ must be getting bad and it seems that the have resorted to stealing from its customers in broad daylight at any cost " "Dear Lucky customer you will now enjoy a 7 day trial of Ziki Tunes and then at 15kshs a month. Song chgs: 5 Ksh/mnth. To deactivate send STOP to 155. For more songs call *155 " "So i sent stop to 155 and was charged 1bob." Of which I have not yet received a confirmation to the deactivation of this service, that I did not even ask for in the first place. If i send another text i will loose another 1 bob..If i do nothing i will loose 15 ksh , unless i call those guys at customer care, but i did not ask for this in the first place. Is this even legal?.. "I did not subscribe to this..i don’t even like Ziki tunes or want it".. I just want to be able to make and receive phone calls, plain and simple" looks like airtel just robbed me of 1ksh. My question is that do we have a framework either through CCK or any other government regulatory bodies to deal with such rogue telecom companies practices.. Thanks vincent

Which Plugin is this?
by Timothy Mutugi 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Dear Friends, I have just stumbled upon this poll in washington post website: http://goo.gl/tL9F7 I like the way the poll allows those voting to also accompany their vote with a comment. I was wondering whether any skunk / skunkette herein might know which plugin was used therein (and this might probably also require that we identify the cms they are using) Thanks, Timo.
