My mobile data is off… but NTC is Charging me for Data usage… how can we report this… in last 5 days it already deducted NPR 1.08 🙁

Also, you might think if wifi assistant is on, this might happens.

In this case,

I am using iphone 7
Wifi assistant is not on
I never use mobile data
Still they are deducting 0.09 every day

Subin Pradhananga, “Wifi assistant is always off and issue is seen in samsung mobile too”

So, in this scenario, though mobile data is off and even wifi assistant is also not enabled, there might be some issues with telecom operators.

If this happens to NTC, it should have also happended with other telecom operators like NCELL and SMART Cell.

Are you using other operator’s phone and facing the issue like this?

What could be the solution?
