Network Providers' Messages....

The telecommunication sector is definitely undergoing a rapid change and the major service providers in Mumbai are Hutch, Airtel, Idea etc are not only engaging in price wars but also in message and headache wars. So this post is dedicated to them for flooding me with really sweet phone calls everyday and that too, during my study leave when I'm in the best of my moods;)

Calls
The calls are generally regarding converting from prepaid to postpaid. Looks like they got a lot of free stationary to print statements of bills and send them to our addresses when the last thing I want is parents checking my bills and frequency of calls. If I don't give the mailing address as my residential address, then too there are other problems like no check on talktime and this is not realistically possible as there are a lot of calls nowadays like breakup advice calls, boyfriend issues calls, college submission calls, just ranting away calls etc and all I can say is "postpaid seriously nahi parvadtha bhai"...;)

Balance Issue Messages
Once your balance goes below a certain limit in prepaid, whenever you touch your phone to call someone or even give a missed call, you will be subjected to a very sweet lady's melifluous voice telling you that "aapki khadkee chal rahi hai...kripiya don't even think of speaking to someone"!! This I call as the "jhale pe namak" stage:p And this also leads to mental stress cos then who will one rant to about college submissions being such a pain and how stressed out life is:p

Balance Check Messages
This is another headache kind of message. Right now when I checked my balance just 5 minutes before, it gave me my balance and also a very sweet message saying Meet KATRINA in person!! Sms MEET to 4646....Well I think girls will be freaked out after checking the balance and think that "yahaan pe balance 10Rs. balance dikha raha hai and kya main pehnungi jab milne jaungi cos I dont have money to buy a dress!! And guys all i can say is its not K-A-T-R-I-N-A but its K-H-A-T-R-A-H-A-I-N-A....kyunki Salman milega na;) So think before you press your doom number i.e 4646 and also waste Rs2 of your balance:p

Score Check Messages
Cricket is almost like a religion in India. So obviously service providers want to capitalise on that. They will send messages like "To watch the lastest scores, sms CRI to 3636". I can understand most of the times the way Indian team has performed you felt the reason to CRY but at least not now.....we are happy the way its performing now!!

Caller Tune Messages
This is the completely weird category...each and every song from "Piya Tu...Ab tho Aaja" is a latest song because of the remix. Any actor's film does well, then its "download latest hot Abhishek songs". The ultimate thing was when I saw Himesh Reshammiya's songs to be downloaded and the latest song was "Tere Sang Ishq" from the movie "Tom Dick and Harry".
The original song goes like..
Tere Sang Ishq Hai Yaar, Tere Sang Hi Rehna..
My version....
Tere Sar Mein Joo Hai Na, Tere Sang Nahi Rehna...
(For thos of you who have heard this song, Actually hum and see, it fits the tune:p)

Original Song..
Dil Ki Surk Deewaron Pe, Naam Hai Tera Tera...
My version...
Gaane Ki Har Bol Pe, Naak Hai Tera Tera...
(What a nasal voice...gosh!!)

My advice to the service providers is please do not send personalised messages cos I'm seriously not feeling personalised by all this:p If i recollect more kinda messages Ill write a sequel to this post, as of now lemme get back to studyin cos exams begin tomorrow and my brains av gone for a stroll and so I decided to write a post...Cya:p
