The government seems to have given absolutely free rein to cellular companies in Pakistan. With each passing day they come up with new tricks and manoeuvres, all meant to fleece people. The government is just a silent spectator.
For example, I receive at least 10 company messages with different enticements and offers. When you do not reply to them they resort to other tactics and call you. When you receive the call, a recorded voice would start uttering gibberish. My suggestion, therefore, to cellular networks is that they ought to give their customers an option for such messages and calls. Let those who do not mind such messages and calls receive them but those who do not have time for such messages or averse to them should be spared.
