Airtel — International Roaming charges charged but Roaming didn't worked at all

Hi, I had requested to activate International Roaming on My mobile number [protected] as I was travelling to Nepal on 23rd Aug for a business trip. Before Activating the roaming I had asked Airtel Call Center person whether there will be any monthly charge or not or do I need to pay any security deposit, the preson replied to me that since my sim is postpaid and I am using it from more than 1 year i will not be charged anything on monthly bases or there will be no deposit. So i asked the person to activate the roaming. Then in the evening I called the call center again to check the status and the nightmare started since then. at first the call center person told me that I have to pay 149Rs. monthly charge for international roaming, after arguing with the person i agreed finally to say that ok charge no problem. then the person said that the roaming is activated and you can enjoy services out of India also. when I reached Nepal I tried to search for network in auto and manual both mode but i was not able to register my mobile on local network. after complaining to Airtel on Facebook page, the person called me on my Nepal local numeber and the person asked me whether I am near by any mobile tower or not, fortunetly I was near a mobile tower only. but that was really foolish because my Mobile local number was working in the hotel i was staying and at same place I was not able to connect to airtel roaming. Then the person told me that he will consult to technical team and get back to me and till now nothing has happened. I returned back from Nepal on 1st Sept and till my return there was no network at all. I have been cheated by Airtel and I need my monthly charges of 149 refund and then I will never use or recomend anyone to use Airtel any more.... point to be noted is 149Rs. has been charged for just 1 day because my bill cycle was changing on 23 of Aug.
