      i have suffered a lot from your customer service operators.. my experience :-i have spoken
      to 4 or 5 executives regarding unwanted messages and it was happening even after registering
      in dnd.even though i was receiving two or three messages per day i was silent but today
      the numbers increased and it was increasing day by day.i spoke to rajan tiwari today at
      07:48 and was telling him this issue,he didn’t even know the way to speak and that guy DE
      ACTIVATED the dnd.when i asked why he said i thought u want offer messages..i was clear
      on call and my rate of speech was low enough for any person to understand..i dont know the
      way you hire the people over there or do u have a quality team..i dont think he ever recieved training
      ..if the quality team is there i dont think
      they record the calls or give feedback…
      today the water is above my head so i came here
      to let you guys know about ur service,i dont think anything better will happen in future
      but just an advise if u dont know to run an organization.please close it..as other people
      should not suffer like me..when i asked rajan to transfer the call to the team
      leader he said that ajay is his team leader and he is busy and the time was 08:06..kindly
      take any action if you guys have shame while taking money and providing this worthless
      service. 9773096066
