    Did U know dialog charges Rs. 11.50 every time you send an sms using 7788?

    Dialog netted the highest profits during the Sirasa Super Star promotions:
    Customer Base as they say = 2,00,000
    Let's say 50% Votijng on 7788 = 2,00,000/100x50
    = 1,00,000
    Let's say Rs. 1/= profit from 01 SMS = 1,00,000xRs. 1/=
    =Rs. 1,00,000/=
    Amount they charge for SMS sent to 7788 =Rs. 11.50
    Above amount with out VAT =Rs. 11.50/115x100
    =Rs. 10.00
    Normal Charge for SMS =Rs. 2.30
    Extra amount that charge for this 7788 =Rs. 10.00 – 2.30
    =Rs. 7.70
    Actual cost per SMS like that =Rs. 0.50 (or less)
    So the profit that they get from 1 SMS like this = Rs. 7.70 – 0.50
    = Rs. 7.20
    If we took that per week no of votes they receive nearly= 45, 000
    And superstar thing was going on for 6hole months = 6x4
    = 24 weeks
    So the profit Dialog got is = Rs. 7.20 x 45, 000 x 24
    = Rs. 77,76,000/=

    Now (finally, after all the glamour) What did Sirasa Super Stars did for you?
    Or have you been taken for a ride?
    At the end Of SIRASA SUPER STAR Dialog got a huge profit more than Rs 7.7Milion that was the only happened

    Now imagine if dialog charges just Rs. 1.00 extra to all your bills.
    or charges you on a number that you haven't taken

    Fact: This actually happens and takes place regularly.........
    not only dialog! with some other networks as well!!!
    wake up you guys ... wake up....!!!

    If this happens log a written complain to your service provider
    with CC: (carbon copy) to the telecom regulatory commission)

    lets act now!
    we're getting sick & tired of this system!
