No, they don't do that. They'll be shooting themselves in the foot if they did that.

What phone are you using, or have previously used with this SIM card? Some cheap phone makes are preloaded with bloatware that is baked into the ROM.

This macro kiosk memang has a history of all these spammy malicious advertisements for Rm 4 smses and apps.

Really teruk those fellas. Because of people like them, those trying to provide legit SMS services kena burn also

Each month, MCP is entitled to send (to MCP’s client) an equivalent number of Mobile Terminator (MT) message(s) for every Mobile Originator (MO) message(s) received from MCP’s client (with no premium value attached) at no cost.

For those who thinks telco should not be blamed for the wrongful charges, THINK AGAIN!

MCMC or consumer right? they are doing nothing but like mosquito to suck blood one by one.
