Zong to Charge Missed Calls Alerts

Missed calls alerts is a service which allows mobile phone users to get SMS notification of missed calls in case mobile was switched off/ out of network coverage, busy or no reply.

Miss Call Alerts can be very handy, particularly, if you don’t afford to miss each incoming call on your cell phone.

Zong MCA (Missed call alerts) service was also free till today. As Zong has decided to charge this service at Rs. 10 plus tax per month. Following message confirms the imposition of charges,

Dear Customer Missed call alerts service will be charged@Rs.10+t/month from 25th March 2010. Reply with ‘N’ to opt out of service to avoid auto charging. Sender +678

Sad to see that Zong MCA, being a paid service now.
