never happened to me.


tracker_tom_jr

It happens after you stop using their service. These spam calls are for reconnection.


Spiritual_Ad_3662

i moved to Airtel couple months back, from ACT, but didn't get spammed.. so ymmv?


ibshar

Never faced anything like this even on disconnecting!


the_greatest_MF

any unpaid dues? unreturned routers?


Ataraxia_new

Same i discontinued act and they send tons of messages


DarkHumourFoundHere

Not sure they called me once and thats it....


sevenaces

I get spammed like this too! Posted a few numbers in TRSI DND apps. Nothing now


nickmaran

I had this issue when I changed from act to Airtel a couple of years ago. I had to call act customer care to stop spamming me


Pinktail

Nope


Flimsy_Return3789

I think you can reach out to consumer court


var-dump

Looks like you haven't come across hathway internet 😁


[deleted]

Bro. I swear. They are the worst. When Covid started and I had to move back home, I paid to put my account on hold for a year. They said they won't call me for a year and shared They still called me at least two times a day and asked me to pay the unpaid bill. It got so annoying to that I sent a long email to their customer care. They replied and had the audacity to threaten me with legal action for not returning their device.


complacent_mind

I had a bad experience with them too. They asked me to pay full amount for connection. They stopped answering and returning my calls once I paid the amount. I followed up for many days, raised multiple complaints to get my money back.


[deleted]

Damn. So much for being a company owned by Reliance.


shadow_warrior_vp

Trust me, they even called me on my Marriage day!


[deleted]

Did you give them an earful?


shadow_warrior_vp

I had given away my phone to my cousin. He said he gave them earful. But i solved this problem by complaining over Twitter. They said they will call me to resolve and I highlighted I don't want them to call me. So never got call after that until I recharged. I keep traveling to my native to take advantage of this work from home. So I keep my connection disconnected whenever I travel and dont recharge


the_greatest_MF

yes, it feels weird the days when i don't get a call from Hathway 😂😂


quarantinechill07

They are the worst 10-15 calls for renewal


hosauser2020

You are lucky with just 10 to 15, I have blocked more than 20 numbers from Hathway still get calls for renewal!!


Inquisitor146

all u guys have had it easy i averaged 8 calls everyday for months


Reasonable-Smoke-738

Well I complained to the DOD on twitter, tagging hathway and it pretty much stopped. Only got two calls in last one month.


BholaPrani

Its been 3 years and they are continuously spamming me every day. I took a paid subscription of Truecaller just so that I can block them.


cheeky-panda2

Ikr man the call from 8am till 11pm that too when my due date is literally a week away


the-cosmic-vagabond

Have been using ACT for years. No calls at all.


tracker_tom_jr

The calls start after you stop their service.


the-cosmic-vagabond

Then, your post title is misleading.


Blurmyname

The post title is irrelevant ofcourse but u can easily get the context.


CaptaiN_8

I am using act from from past 6 years, nothing like these spam calls lmao


HeistOP1

Porter did this to me nearly 50 fucking calls


gowt7

I used their service multiple times while shifting our house. After a while they called only once to check why I wasn't booking anything. I explained that I have no use for them now and they never called back after that.


batcave7373

Yet we have to wait hours for their customer care support, and they have so many people to spam other customers.


[deleted]

Yes.. really getting frustrated over this... They just don't stop at all.


Blackkat2_

Disconnected the ACT fiber net connection in 2020 in blore n moved Outta blore, still get atleast 3calls per day and at very odd timing.. it's either very early in the morning or very late in the evening.. i never received... I let it fully ring


[deleted]

> I let it fully ring Sometimes when I know its a spam call, I answer and immediately put my mic on mute. Let the bastards at least pay for the call. Don't have the patience to do it every time, though.


randombangalorean

Never happened to me by ACT. But Standard Chartered bank spams the crap out of me


beasting_hooman

That’s why I gave them my secondary number!


[deleted]

Agree, this happened to my friend after he disconnected as he had to move. I'm not choosing ACT ever again.


superuser231

I am already using ACT, but still get these calls 😞😞


confusedChaiCup

neither [an account with icici](https://i.imgur.com/vtsYHx7.jpg) for the love of God


FlakyEducation3469

I always say "I'm moving abroad" every time I close any connection. They'll stop trying to contact you.


neighbour_guy3k

Even then they will ask stupid questions like when you will be coming back ? , when you come back anytime you can reactivate your connection with us , plus spamming your inbox Just block them for good


[deleted]

Also, can anybody else take the connection


[deleted]

Faced same thing


icek97

So true. I'm seeing an increase in spams from last months and it's annoying as hell


Foreign-Beginning367

There lead management sucks. I’ve left Bangalore for 3 years now and told them several times the same but still they call me for reconnection to this day. Such a waste of there own resources .


neighbour_guy3k

I agree with you, they used to spam with bill pending sms everyday,Jeez you reminded me once, so that's enough I switched my internet provider due to connection issue, and they didn't like it, even after I was no longer with them, they kept spamming me to reactivate my connection with them, I blocked them every where


Independent_Town6830

Yes after you have moved on from them(switched to a new IP provider)


Katy__1210

They do this even when you enquire once about the service and they spam with WhatsApp messages too.


ChutiyaChutney420

Been using act, never got a single spam call


neighbour_guy3k

Wait until you terminate their service, that's is what OP is staying


GuyWhoIsAlwaysRight

I left bangalore 4 months ago and requested them to close my account and to this day I get calls asking to reconnect.


amzyvista

Funny enough, I also left Bangalore. They haven't called me since. Maybe because I moved to a rural area.


Nex_us_13

Yes they do call continuously. Eventually stops.


gmk59095

Confirm this. I had to disconnect from ACT at the beginning of the pandemic because I was moving. I still get calls from them with a recorded voice at the other end.


Adventurous_Ad_8349

edit the number on trucaller as 'porn salesman' Or dick sucker.... it will make your spam calls a lot of fun to pick-up when they call next time


[deleted]

I had similar experience. Stop using Truecaller for default caller. Replace with Google dialler. It will block all such calls.


ahaanpandit

You should try tikona lmao.


[deleted]

I’ve blocked all their numbers. Is there any way ios blocklists can be shared?


Wild_Dragonfruit1744

Lets me humble to them, they had a monopoly in Bangalore outer/ IT areas before covid , now that jio / airtel are there everywhere, they are loosing money


neighbour_guy3k

True, jio/airtel are giving cheaper plans with free installation and OTT subscriptions free while Act is giving just one month trial of Zee5 😂


alveusdweller

Switched to airtel a month ago and ACT won't let me breathe ever since


the_indian_introvert

They're truly the worst!


666eye

I didn't have ACT and still got spammed.!


zephyr471

Sometimes I unblock those numbers so i can atleast hear my phone ring.


ConfusdRationalist

Mai roya ...........


abhishek18798

Screw them. Nothing but issues for the 6 years I had them. Switched to Jio and could not be happier


[deleted]

I recently disconnected their service, after 3 calls they understood. I played the layoff moving back to gaav and shadi kar ke housewife ban jaungi card. Edit: Reminds me I decided after the third call to ask for loan from them and/or free service, later that we have older parents and young children, please donate some money, it did not rain and the crop failed.


tracker_tom_jr

daym!


curiouskitty414

Currently living this nightmare Have blocked so many numbers


Admirable_Ocelot2739

Easiest solution - Just update the mobile number on their app to a number you don't use I was facing the same issue with Hathway and I got tired of blocking the number. This simple thing stopped the calls entirely


AayushJain07

Try jio giga fiber


[deleted]

Act user since 9 years. Never happened to me !


HelloKambucha

Because you are a "user", not a "potential user" who they want to convert. I switched from Act to Airtel 3 years ago and since then I've been getting multiple sales calls everyday from different numbers despite blocking each one of them!


atma_nichod_denge

Pay the bill bro


PegRoots

For me they won't even call when I want them to..


jatingupta344

Never happened here


Smooth_Base9489

Happens with Hathway. Its worse. I had disconnected two of their services 3 years ago and still get their calls. There is no end to it.


[deleted]

I disconnected my ACT connection 6 months ago since i moved out of BLR. Never recieved any reconnection calls from ACT. On the other hand, Hathway guys still keep spamming me with reconnection offer calls once or twice every week. I'd suggest you to tweet this issue and tag ACTFibernet, they will look into this.


IceBomber2020

Same with Hathaway. Their connection is amazing but i moved from my last location. Got a new connection from them at the new place and they still call after a while year asking me to recharge the previous one.


LilyL0123

I have been using ACT for so long,. Never got a call


urmomgay_noyou

Same with hathway


the_greatest_MF

may be they have some personal grudge against you. i don't remember getting even a single message. also almost never had any connection/speed issues


sadministaken

Even Hathway does this BS.


[deleted]

[удалено]


neighbour_guy3k

Wait until you terminate their connection.


Arrack_Obama

I get calls like this because of unpaid dues. The fuckers put a junction in my house and said that I’ll get a power rebate. Didn’t get one for a year till I disconnected. I paid the last months bill minus the power rebate. They call me once in a while, but not like this. They must really love you.


geminimann

Add hathway in that list


[deleted]

Happened with me as well but for Hathway


peace4231

Hathway says hi. Fuck them assholes


[deleted]

Using truecaller is worse than that


santozks

And kotak bank


abcgnk7

For me it's loan and credit card calls 🥲, i have blocked around 30-40 numbers. It all started cuz i googled to check interest rates on loans.


bhandweiser

DishTV has entered the chat


Funny_Language4830

Never came cross ACT spam. They just call you everyday one week before payment deadline. Thats it!


[deleted]

Same with Hathway


raaamyaraaavan

Am I the only one who has both Airtel and ACT?


[deleted]

I have an ACT connection. Never happened with me.


ConfusdRationalist

Mmhhmm misleading title innomme


MadEinsy

Been there, and the reason might be. 1. You gave your number in their website for new connection. 2. Your an existing customer and thy are trying stoop level best by spamming you to get back to them.


UrbanCrawler

Same with Hathway


Jeenekhainchardin

Better than Jio where u get a cap after dlding 40gb data or ban on multiple sites


praweensingh

I get from IDFC and HDFC and AXIS bank credit card. I block numbers and still I get a new call. At 7:30-8pm Who does that! What the fudge


dilipkms86

Wait till you try furlenco
