Taking advantage of my situation?
I have been using a cell phone for the last 13 years and till today I am stick to one number. In all these years this number have become a part of my life; in fact, I treat this number as an identity of me. But recently I received an SMS from my operator which surprised me. My operator told me to dial a special number to get connected to RAB, police, fire service or blood bank during any crisis period or in emergency.
And this will charge me taka 5 per minute. How come my operator charge me 5-7 (or sometimes it is 10) times more than the usual rate while I am in crisis and need help? Isn't my operator, whom I believe to be a part of my life, taking advantage of my situation? My operator is not a small operator; when it can afford to offer 50 paisa per minute and make millions of taka as profit each year, I feel it can easily provide this service for free to its users.
