    Most of the respondent still believe that price/charge of the product is commensurate with the quality.
    The practice operators of automatically sending calls to vice mail mode and deducting money whether the caller want that service or not is seen as exploitative and lack transparency. The caller should only be charge after excising the option of recording is message and sending same.
