5 things your operator won’t tell you

ET has a candid piece on the fraudulent practises many operators use to make more money off the gullible user.

1. Operators introduce greetings SMS into the system on days like Diwali, Friendship day etc. to induce users to forward them
2. Ignorance of premium pricing for VAS services leads to inflated bills
3. Within-network offers won’t neccessarily work cheaper for most users
4. Freebies are meant to make it a habit for you
5. Little transparency in billing systems of operators

Out of the 5 things, not one comes as new to me. Must read.
