According to complaints received by CFM, some consumers did not even know that the voicemail service for their number is activated or bundled together with their telco packages. Other consumers have requested their service providers to deactivate the service but to no avail. As a result, callers to their number will be charged, causing unexpected expenses.
There are also cases where consumers have been charged for voicemail roaming services fee when they go overseas. So far, CFM has received 30 complaints regarding voicemail services since 2012 until 2017. Although the numbers are relatively small, consumers should be aware of their rights. In light of such cases, it’s important to gain the right and accurate information to avoid money unnecessary spending.
